The IRS has admitted to a federal court that they've recently identified almost 7,000 more documents that could contain information on how the agency targeted the tax-exempt applications of Tea Party organizations or other conservative political groups starting back in 2010.
The Washington Examiner reports the revelation of thousands of unreleased documents was made in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group. J
udicial Watch President Tom Fitton, said the admission from the IRS represents a significant breakthrough.
In a press release, Fitton added, "The Obama IRS ignored this issue for years."
The IRS would not commit to a timeline for releasing the new documents.
