The White House says the president's council, Kathryn Ruemmler alerted some senior staff members after she learned in late April, inspector general of the Internal Revenue Service was looking into special scrutiny of conservative groups were applying for tax exempt status. But NPR's Craig Windham says Ruemmler decided not to tell president Obama about the audit before a final report was released.
白宫表示,总统顾问凯瑟琳·雷穆勒在四月下旬得知美国国税局检查长对申请免税的保守团体进行不当审查,并提醒了一些高级官员。据NPR新闻的克雷格·温德姆报道,雷穆勒决定在最终报告公布前不告知总统此次审计工作的情况。
White House press secretary Jay Carney says Ruemmler had only very general information about the then incomplete audit which she passed onto the White House chief of staff and some other senior staffers.
白宫新闻秘书杰伊·卡尼表示,雷穆勒对当时并不完整的审计报告也只了解到一般信息,然后她将情况告知了白宫办公厅主任及其他一些高级人员。
"She also made it clear that it was her view and another shared this view that there was not any need in the situation like this, was an ongoing investigation or audit, that's the president should be notified. "
“她明确表明,这是她和其他人的一致看法,像这种正在进行的调查或审计报告没有必要告知总统。”
Carney says it would have been improper for Obama to act until the audit was finished because the preliminary findings of such probes are subject to change.
卡尼表示,在审计报告完成前奥巴马采取行动并不恰当,因为像这类调查的初步结果有可能更改。
"There was nothing we could have or should have done about it."
“有关这件事我们没有可以或应该做的。”
Carney says Obama did act quickly once the audit was released. Several congressional panels have begun their own investigations of the IRS actions. Craig Windham NPR News Washington.
卡尼表示,审计报告一公布奥巴马立刻采取了行动。一些国会小组已经就国税局的行为展开自己的调查。NPR新闻,克雷格·温德姆华盛顿报道。
