Trump Removes IRS Commissioner Billy Long After Short Tenure

President Trump fired Billy Long from his job as head of the IRS after less than two months.

Scott Bessent, from the Treasury Department, will temporarily take over.

Long, a former congressman, had previously tried to get rid of the IRS.

He's expected to be nominated as the U.S. ambassador to Iceland.

Long's short time in the role and lack of tax background led to conflict.

His departure follows job cuts at the agency.
