The White House vowed Monday that President Biden would veto House Republicans’ first bill, which would claw back tens of billions of dollars from the IRS.
Republicans say the legislation, due for a vote Monday night, is intended to prevent Americans from facing an onslaught of audits from an IRS newly emboldened by money granted by Mr. Biden and the Democrat-controlled Congress last year.
But the White House, in a statement, said Republicans are trying to protect wealthy tax cheats from being caught, and said Mr. Biden won’t sign the bill even in the unlikely event it cleared Congress.
