GOP moves to block IRS from 501(c) donor data

The “Preventing IRS Abuse and Protecting free Speech Act” will get a vote following the revelation that the IRS in 2012 leaked to the media the identities of donors to the National Organization for Marriage. The list included then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
