Obama: Acting Commissioner of IRS resigns
Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the "misconduct" detailed in a report about the Internal Revenue Service's handling of requests from conservative groups is "inexcusable."
"Americans have a right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it," he said.
In the wake of the uproar, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew requested - and has accepted - the resignation of the acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, according to Obama.
The president also said his administration will work to enact "new safeguards to make sure that this kind of behavior cannot happen again."
