• Senator “outraged” by IRS investigation, pledges action. INDIANAPOLIS – (WTHR) — Calling it “one of the biggest pieces of abuse and fraud” he’s seen during his two decades in Congress, Sen. Dan Coats (R-Indiana) called on the Internal Revenue Service to better protect millions of taxpayers whose identities are vulnerable because of a secret IRS policy exposed last week by 13 Investigates. The senator is referring to an Eyewitness News investigation that shows how the IRS allows illegal immigrants to “borrow” other people’s Social Security numbers to get employment – despite federal law that prohibits undocumented workers from obtaining their own Social Security numbers.
