Political News Alert: IRS asked to investigate Rove-linked group (Corrected)

---------------------------------------- Politics News Alert: IRS asked to investigate Rove-linked group (Corrected) October 5, 2010 11:19:27 AM ---------------------------------------- Two campaign-finance watchdogs asked the Internal Revenue Service on Tuesday to investigate Crossroads GPS, the big-spending conservative group supported by Republican guru Karl Rove, for allegedly violating U.S. tax laws limiting the political activities of nonprofits. In a complaint filed with the IRS, Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center say the group--an arm of the American Crossroads political committee--is using its nonprofit status to shield the identities of its wealthy donors. Correction: An earlier alert incorrectly stated that the IRS is alleging election violations. The IRS has only been asked to investigate the allegations. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/YLCS8G/3O0WH7/ADSE5Y/IHWS51/7QG8T/N9/h For more information, visit PostPolitics.com. ---------------------------------------- Explore Washington Post content in a whole new innovative way.
