ILawmaker: Holder must probe leak of Romney tax returns
Daily Caller – Alex Pappas –

A Republican lawmaker has
asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate whether former presidential
nominee Mitt Romney’s tax returns were leaked by the Internal Revenue Service.
“Do you know if the IRS
leaked tax information related to Mitt Romney during the Republican
presidential primary general campaign?” Idaho Rep. Raúl Labrador asked Holder
when he appeared before the House Judiciary Committee this week.
When Holder responded that
he didn’t know, the website
Talking Points Memo reported, Labrador
asked him to investigate the topic. But the attorney general replied that he
isn’t sure if he has a “predicate for it.”
But on the House floor on
Thursday, California Rep. Tom McClintock said there’s “reason to believe” the
IRS leaked Romney’s tax information, The Hill reported.
“There’s now reason to
believe that IRS officials leaked confidential tax information to top officials
in the Obama campaign, and to liberal groups such as ProPublica and the
Huffington Post, which may then have illegally published that information,”
McClintock said.
