IRS’s Lerner pleads Fifth, insists she did nothing wrong
By Bernie Becker
IRS official Lois Lerner said had not done anything wrong at a tense House hearaing Wednesday but still invoked her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination on Wednesday.
“I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations,” Lerner, the head of an IRS division overseeing tax-exempt groups that targeted conservative groups, said before the House Oversight Committee.
