EXCLUSIVE — Top officials in a key division of the IRS appear to have a strong bias against President Donald Trump, with some officials going so far as to boost content accusing the president of treason or fascism, the American Accountability Foundation found.

In a new report, the watchdog group identified seven current leaders in the IRS’s Large Business and International division who are registered Democrats or Democratic donors and eight who, while not registered as Democrats, have signaled liberal or anti-Trump sentiments via their social media activity. Just two out of the division’s 40 senior officials were found to be Republicans. A full breakdown of the division’s leadership is difficult to compile using public records because Virginia, where many federal workers live, does not have partisan voter registration.
