IRS chief knew tea party groups targeted in 2012
Former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman testified he learned in spring 2012 that agents improperly targeted tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. He said he did not inform Treasury officials or Congress and would not apologize, defending letting the inspector general finish the probe. The report cited delays in applications, caused by Washington’s mismanagement, though it found no evidence of direct orders.

Apple Chief Tim Cook Faces Senate Tax Questions
Senate investigators pressed Apple CEO Tim Cook on reports that Irish subsidiaries help the company dodge U.S. taxes. Cook argued the subsidiaries do not cut U.S. tax, noting profits are not brought home to avoid the 35 percent rate. He highlighted Apple as a major taxpayer and urged tax-code reform to lower rates and curb deductions.

FBI Apology for Seizing Reporters Phone Records
In 2008 FBI Director Mueller apologized to editors at The New York Times and The Washington Post for improperly obtaining reporters phone records four years earlier, an admission the action violated Justice Department policy. The 2004 activities drew no legal charges, while current AP phone record subpoenas show investigators driven by policy and high officials judgments more than law. The probe centers on who fed Yemen bomb plot details to AP reporters.

Five Benghazi suspects identified by U S officials
The United States has named five men potentially linked to the Benghazi attack and says evidence supports capturing them by military force as suspected terrorists, though not enough to prosecute in a U S civilian court. FBI notes indicate more individuals may have information, with Libya's fledgling authorities complicating the case.
