[MSN] A U.S. Tax Court judge ordered the Internal Revenue Service to disclose whether it brought a criminal inquiry against the Clinton Foundation.The tax agency has said in the past that no such inquiry took place, but Judge David Gustafson insisted the claim "was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion," according to an April 22 ruling obtained by Just The News.
Gustafson sent the case back to the IRS Whistleblower Office to "explore" a "gap" in the agency's records.
"The WO [Whistleblower Office] must further investigate to determine whether CI [criminal investigative division] proceeded with an investigation based on petitioners' information and collected proceeds," the judge said. "It seems clear we should remand the case to the WO so that it can explore this gap."
Gustafson added that a trial pertaining to "dereliction of duty by the IRS" will not take place.
