The arrival of Elon Musk's aide Gavin Kliger at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to scrutinize operations raises serious concerns about preserving the integrity and impartiality of the agency. The IRS handles highly sensitive personal and financial data of American taxpayers. Allowing individuals closely tied to political figures like Donald Trump to examine IRS operations risks compromising this confidential information and potentially fabricating records to enable tax evasion. As public servants, IRS employees must prioritize ethics and objective enforcement of tax laws over partisan interests. Protecting taxpayer privacy and preventing conflicts of interest should be paramount. I urge you to take immediate action to restrict the DOGE team's access and ensure the IRS remains an independent, non-partisan institution serving all Americans fairly.
