Trump’s Pick for IRS Chief Well Steeped in Parsing Tax Controversies
Government Executive | February 09, 2018
President Trump’s pick for Internal Revenue commissioner would bring a rich background in addressing tax controversies from his work with the agency as well as the tax section of the American Bar Association. Thursday’s White House announcement nominating California private tax attorney Charles Rettig for a seven-year term (beginning last November when John Koskinen’s ended) noted Rettig’s 35-year career with the Beverly Hills firm of Hochman, Salkin, Rettig, Toscher & Perez. Reactions in Washington were upbeat.
