Trump Removes IRS Commissioner Billy Long After Short Tenure
President Trump has ousted IRS Commissioner Billy Long, who served less than two months in the position, marking one of the shortest tenures for an IRS head in U.S. history. The decision comes amid reported clashes between the IRS and the White House over the handling of immigrants’ data. As Long departs, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been named as the acting head of the agency. This rapid turnover in IRS leadership raises questions about the stability and focus of the agency under the current administration.
