Senate Confirms Billy Long to Head IRS

The Epoch Times
By The Epoch Times

The former Missouri congressman was confirmed by a vote of 53–44 in the Senate.

The Senate has confirmed that William “Billy” Long, a former Missouri congressman, will serve as IRS commissioner.

Senators voted 53–44 to confirm Long, whom President Donald Trump nominated for the position in December 2024. Long’s confirmation was put on hold for months while Democrats investigated his background, including Long’s ties to groups that promoted controversial tax-credit programs.

Long was appointed to serve the remainder of the prior commissioner’s term, which will expire on Nov. 12, 2027.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
