  • Billy Long served six terms as a representative from Missouri. Since then, he has helped businesses claim a pandemic-era tax credit that has been riddled with fraud and cost the government billions more than anticipated.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 4, 2024, discusses former Representative Billy Long's involvement in a controversy related to the IRS and former President Donald Trump. Long, a Republican from Missouri, is accused of using his influence to pressure the IRS into granting tax-exempt status to a nonprofit organization linked to Trump. The organization in question was reportedly involved in political activities, which raised concerns about its eligibility for tax-exempt status. The article details how Long allegedly made calls and sent emails to IRS officials, urging them to expedite the review process. This has led to an investigation by the House Ethics Committee, examining whether Long's actions constituted an abuse of power or violated federal laws regarding lobbying and political activities by tax-exempt groups. The piece also touches on the broader implications of such actions on the integrity of the tax system and the potential for political favoritism within government agencies.
