According to records obtained by The Washington Post, in March, a Trump administration official requested that the IRS review an audit of the MyPillow guy, Mike Lindell, and the same Treasury official, David Eisner, “sent a **nearly identical** email to IRS asking to review audit of a group run by Kansas state Sen. Rick Kloos.”
Jacob Bogage with the outlet wrote on the Bad App, ‘So now two emails — that we know of — reflecting Treasury intervening in tax investigations of Trump’s “high profile friends.”‘
Eisner wrote to senior IRS staff that Lindell, whom he referred to as a “high-profile friend of the president,” had received his second audit letter in two years, and “he is concerned he may have been inappropriately targeted.”
Sure thing, buddy.

Tax experts say the outreach on behalf of a Trump political ally is highly unusual and represents a sea change in how political appointees engage with the nonpolitical tax agency.
