U.S. Senator Rick Scott called on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to strip tax-exempt status from CodePink

Scott sent a June 17, 2026 letter urging the IRS to scrutinize CodePink's 501(c)(3) status and remove its tax-exempt benefits based on alleged CCP links and lobbying activity.

Evidence

Scott's Senate office said he called on the IRS to strip CodePink's tax-exempt status and addressed the letter to IRS CEO Frank Bisignano.

Within the June 7-July 6 lookback window, Scott publicly took the promised oversight action: a formal letter to the IRS seeking loss of CodePink's tax-exempt status, citing lobbying and alleged CCP-linked influence.

The embedded letter states CodePink's CCP-related connections warrant scrutiny and says its lobbying raises questions about 501(c)(3) eligibility.

The text of Scott's letter directly matches the claim's basis: alleged Chinese Communist Party ties and lobbying activity as reasons for IRS scrutiny and possible loss of tax-exempt status.

The report says Scott urged the Trump administration to revoke CodePink's tax-exempt status in a letter to IRS Commissioner Frank Bisignano.

Independent reporting corroborates the official release and notes that, as of publication, IRS and CodePink had been contacted but no official response was reported.

The promised action was to call on the IRS to strip CodePink's tax-exempt status, not necessarily to secure revocation. Evidence shows Rick Scott, while serving as U.S. Senator, sent a June 17, 2026 letter to IRS Commissioner/CEO Frank Bisignano demanding CodePink lose its tax-exempt status over alleged CCP ties and lobbying activity. That directly fulfills the stated oversight promise during the same federal term.
