IRS Commissioner Apologizes on CNN Instead of During Congressional Hearing

Koskinen Apologizes, Not to Congress, but on CNN: 'It's a Serious Matter' (CNS News)

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen refused to apologize for IRS misbehavior when he went before Congress, but he did apologize Thursday afternoon when he went on CNN's "Situation Room" to project a more accommodating attitude.

"As I said when I began, the improper criteria used to highlight organizations for investigation just by their name was a mistake. I apologize to anybody who had their applications held up needlessly," Koskinen told Wolf Blitzer.
