The IRS made an unexpected visit to the home of Matt Taibbi on the same day that he testified before Congress, the "Twitter Files" journalist has disclosed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).
Along with fellow Twitter Files author Michael Shellenberger, Taibbi testified on March 9 before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, citing internal Twitter communications he obtained showing the social media giant's coordination with the government on content moderation. That same day, the IRS visited Taibbi's residence in New Jersey and left a note instructing him to call the agency, Jordan revealed on Monday in a letter to the IRS that was reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
