The person who filed a second whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump works at the IRS, The Washington Post reported.
The complaint alleges "inappropriate efforts to influence" the agency's audit of Trump's tax returns, according to a court filing from the House Ways and Means Committee.
According to The Post, the person accused of trying to interfere with the audit is a political appointee at the Treasury Department.
"The president's and vice president's tax returns are kept in a top-secret vault," one Justice Department veteran told Insider. "It's code-word-protected, the whole nine yards, and not just anyone can get in there. There are very few people — the head of the Treasury, the head of the IRS — who have access."
