Season 2017 Episode 1229 | 6m 52s

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has been a lightning rod for Republican lawmakers who have called for his impeachment and criticized the agency he’s been running since 2013. As one of the last Obama administration holdovers, he’ll complete his term this Sunday. Koskinen sits down with Judy Woodruff to discuss the strains on the IRS and President Trump’s controversial tax returns.
