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.
