IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says
he will finish his term through November despite congressional calls for him to step down immediately.
House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R., Texas) and
14 committee members sent a letter to President Donald Trump on April 5 asking him to replace Koskinen as soon as possible.
Speaking at the National Press Club yesterday,
Koskinen joked that while his term as IRS commissioner was ending,
he may yet reappear in another government position.
"I should warn you that although this is my last visit to the Press Club as IRS Commissioner,
don't necessarily assume you've seen the last of me," he said. "While I plan to retire in November, I could come back in some other position one of these days, 'cause after all I've already failed retirement twice."
