U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed on Friday that Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender has been appointed acting Internal Revenue Service commissioner, replacing longtime IRS career official Gary Shapley in the temporary role.

President Trump is removing Hunter Biden whistleblower Gary Shapley from his role as acting IRS commissioner only days after he was appointed, amid a feud between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and billionaire Elon Musk.

The acting head of the IRS is reportedly being ousted after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained to President Donald Trump that Elon Musk pushed to place him in the role without Bessent’s assent.
