Lawmaker Challenges IRS on Obama Church Inquiry

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is challenging the Internal Revenue Service's investigation into allegations that the United Church of Christ violated federal laws on electioneering and is asking the IRS to explain why it began the inquiry.

Mr. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, said he found the investigation "especially troubling because of the service's inadequate guidance" for churches trying to follow federal law when they invite candidates to appear at gatherings.
