Former House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes blasts IRS visit to Matt Taibbis home amid House testimony on The Story.suspiciously-timed run-inThe Wall Street Journal editorial board reported Monday that the IRS visited Taibbi's New Jersey home the same day as he gave his testimony to Congress about his findings from the Twitter Files.
Longtime journalist Sharyl Attkisson said the visit, ill-intentioned or not, would have a"chilling effect." Attkisson has long contended the Justice Department during the Obama administration illegally surveilled her while she was at CBS News. The Freedom of the Press Foundation weighed in, tweeting,"If the IRS visit to @mtaibbi's house had anything to do with his reporting or recent Congressional testimony it would be a disturbing attack on press freedoms. Let’s hope the government quickly and credibly explains."
"I’ve been reassured now that there’s no problem, but I still look forward to hearing an explanation," Taibbi wrote.
