Judicial Watch says it has obtained documents that show Internal Revenue Service employees used donor lists from conservative non-profit groups to target people for audits.
The group obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act request as part of a lawsuit against the IRS.
The records show how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was targeted for possible "high scrutiny," Judicial Watch said.
"These documents that we had to force out of the IRS prove that the agency used donor lists to audit supporters of organizations engaged in First Amendment-protected lawful political speech," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
