President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next IRS commissioner, former Missouri GOP Rep. Billy Long, faces continued delay over apparent unfinished background paperwork that’s creating mixed messages between the White House and Capitol Hill.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-ID) told the Washington Examiner he’s unsure when the paperwork with various federal agencies would conclude so his panel could advance Long but indicated it was part of the bureaucratic delay that nominees and committees regularly face under new administrations.
