Bloomberg BNA:

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) June 12 said the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of tea party and other conservative groups applying for tax exemptions did not originate in Cincinnati.

Where the targeting originated has become an increasing point of contention among lawmakers interviewing IRS employees for their involvement in inappropriately lumping together the groups’ applications for special scrutiny by name.

Camp said he knows the targeting did not begin in Cincinnati “because of the testimony we’ve gotten.”
