...#ScottBessent believed that #Musk had done an end run around him to get #GaryShapley installed as the interim head of the #IRS, even though the #tax collection agency reports to Bessent. Musk’s #DOGE pushed the appointment through #Trump White House channels, but Bessent was not consulted or asked for his blessing, sources said.
NBC News has confirmed the fact that Shapley has been ousted.

Amid #Trump-imposed #chaos, #IRS loses its 4th commissioner in 3 months
How short was #GaryShapley's tenure? He's out after >1 week on the job.
In recent weeks, the Internal Revenue Service has lost its chief of staff, its chief financial officer, its chief information officer & its top officials overseeing #privacy & #risk policy, all of which has had a predictably #destabilizing effect on the #tax agency.
[begs the question: why did I file/pay #taxes this year??]

#GaryShapley was a longtime #IRS agent when he told Congress in 2023 that prosecutors slow-walked an inquiry into then-President Joe #Biden’s son for #tax offenses.… But Shapley’s testimony, along w/that of Joseph Ziegler, has made him a celebrated figure on the #FarRight & endeared him to advisers to #Trump, who in his first term openly mused about using #tax investigations to persecute his perceived #political #enemies.

That ofcl, #GaryShapley, was recently appointed to dpty chief of the #IRS’s #criminal division & to an “unprecedented” senior advisory role at the #Treasury Dept, he wrote to colleagues in a recent email…— giving #political appointees a direct line to #tax investigations for the first time since #Nixon.
