U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said today he’ll wait for more information to decide whether IRS official Lois Lerner acted improperly in the tax agency’s treatment of Tea Party groups.
At a House Financial Services Committee hearing, Lew declined to answer a question from Representative Scott Garrett, a New Jersey Republican, about whether he agreed with Lerner’s assertion today that she has “not done anything wrong.” Garrett told Lew it was a “yes or no” question.
