Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) made the case to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen during a Tuesday hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. C-SPAN Before delivering his remarks, Chaffetz played a damaging video recap of the IRS targeting scandal, which explained how officials destroyed hard drives and back-up disks containing ex-IRS official Lois Lerner’s emails. “This is really a simple case in my mind,” Chaffetz said. “When Congress asks you a question, you’re expected to give a truthful answer. When Congress issues a subpoena, compliance is not optional. Imagine if a taxpayer failed to comply with an IRS summons or subpoena — what would they do to you?” The GOP lawmaker accused Koskinen of “actively misleading” Congress and failing to prevent evidence in the targeting scandal from being destroyed. He also said the IRS commissioner failed to look in “five of the six” places Lerner’s emails could have been recovered: “the back up tapes, her Blackberry, the server, the backup server and the loaner laptop.” Watch his remarks in full below: — Read more stories from TheBlaze ‘Frozen’ Actress Responds to Campaign Urging Disney to Make Elsa a ‘Lesbian Princess’: ‘I think It’s Great…’ High School Graduates’ Defiant Response to Atheists’ Demand That the Lord’s Prayer Be Stripped From Commencement — and the Rousing Applause That Followed Glenn Beck Predicts Pedophilia is the ‘Next Stop on This Train’ Former NBA Star Accuses Fellow Train Passenger of Blatant Racism, Publishes Her Photo Online ‘Way to Show Discipline at West Point’: Cadet Blasted After Video Shows Her Marching to Graduation — but Focused on Something Else Entirely Source

“Duck Dynasty” star John Luke Robertson recently appeared on The Church Boys podcast to discuss his views on hunting, why he doesn’t have one of his family’s signature beards, marital lessons he’s learned so far and plenty more. Robertson, son of Korie and Willie Robertson, made headlines last year when the then-teen married his fiancé, Mary Kate — a wedding that captured a great deal of attention due to the fact that both the bride and groom were under the age of 20. “We’re young even for [the] south, but everyone is super supportive,” he said. “When I told my dad I was going to propose, his first words were, ‘Well, why did you wait so long?’” Robertson, author of the new book “Young and Beardless,” said that there are some challenges to getting married at such a young age, though. Listen at the 57:30-mark below: Among the challenges he said are some of the logistics due to the couple’s ages. “We can’t rent cars of hotels. Being married this young and having to figure all that out, that’s been hard,” Robertson said. “Other than that I think it’s just really opened my eyes to a lot of who I am.” He then joked about how a friend recently described marriage “like a giant mirror that shares all the worst parts of you” — a description that he found to be true, as couples suddenly have the opportunity to see both their positives and their negatives. Both he and Mary Kate just wrapped their first year at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia — 16 hours from their home in Louisiana. As for whether he’ll ever grow a beard, Robertson said that he’s intrigued by the prospect, but that it seems relatively impossibly at the moment. “I do have interest in growing a beard … my face just isn’t with the program,” he quipped. “Right now … I can get a little something, but it’s just kind of scraggly … I wouldn’t even call it a beard.” Robertson also revealed that he’s not a huge hunting fan — something that might surprise some “Duck Dynasty” fans, considering his family’s love of the sport. “I’m not the biggest [hunting fan],” he said, saying that he can shoot and likes being outdoors, but “wouldn’t say hunting is like my thing.” In the end, he said that he’s hoping his new book, “Young and Beardless,” inspires young people to achieve their dreams. “Young people have a lot of really big God-driven dreams to change the world, but we get so caught up in you know what if it goes wrong … ‘when I have more money’ or ‘when I get married,’” he said, hoping to help his peers look beyond those barriers. – Follow the author of this story on Twitter and Facebook and check out his new book “The Armageddon Code: One Journalist’s Quest for End-Times Answers”: Follow @BillyHallowell Read more stories from TheBlaze ‘Frozen’ Actress Responds to Campaign Urging Disney to Make Elsa a ‘Lesbian Princess’: ‘I think It’s Great…’ High School Graduates’ Defiant Response to Atheists’ Demand That the Lord’s Prayer Be Stripped From Commencement — and the Rousing Applause That Followed Glenn Beck Predicts Pedophilia is the ‘Next Stop on This Train’ Former NBA Star Accuses Fellow Train Passenger of Blatant Racism, Publishes Her Photo Online ‘Way to Show Discipline at West Point’: Cadet Blasted After Video Shows Her Marching to Graduation — but Focused on Something Else Entirely Source

Antonio Smith, an inmate incarcerated with convicted murderer Drew Peterson, testified Monday that Peterson admitted to him that he killed his fourth wife, according to the Chicago Tribune. During his testimony in Peterson’s murder-for-hire trial, Smith also said that Peterson, a former police officer, asked him to hire someone kill James Glasgow, the state’s attorney who successfully prosecuted Peterson for his third wife’s murder. “He said he needed me to have someone kill James Glasgow,” Smith testified, according to the Tribune. Former police officer Drew Peterson faces a murder-for-hire trial for allegedly plotting to kill the prosecutor who put him behind bars in his third wife’s death. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File) The 2007 disappearance of Stacy Peterson, Drew Peterson’s 23-year-old fourth wife, prompted authorities to reopen the investigation into the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Peterson was convicted for Savio’s murder in 2012. Stacy Peterson was never found. According to the Tribune, Smith worked with authorities to record his conversations with Peterson, which prosecutors are now using as evidence. During his testimony, Glasgow said that he views Peterson no differently than any other murderer. “I’ve convicted 98 murderers. He’s just one,” Glasgow said. Glasgow said he had to tell his family about Peterson’s alleged scheme to kill him. Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow put Drew Peterson behind bars for murder. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File) “I’ve had many death threats in my job. But I have a wife, and a family, and I had to tell them about this, just because prudence dictates, and they were very upset. My wife was very upset about it,” Glasgow said. “I know that Mr. Peterson previously committed murder, so when the threat is made against me, it’s real.” Lucas Liefer, Peterson’s attorney, said the recordings “don’t make any sense” and dismissed their content as “prison talk.” “The state thinks it’s a novel idea that a man in maximum-security prison might not like the man who put him there,” Liefer added. According to the Tribune, Smith is serving a 40-year sentence for attempted murder, home invasion and robbery.

DALLAS (AP) — A detention facility for immigrants set to open later this year in Texas will include a special unit for transgender people, the second of its kind in the federal system. The privately-run facility under construction in Alvarado, Texas, southwest of Dallas, will include 36 beds for transgender detainees, according to a statement Monday from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The facility is expected to open in November. AFP/Getty Images The only other such space, in Santa Ana, California, held 28 transgender people last week, according to the agency. City officials in Santa Ana have considered ending their agreement with ICE to house detainees. ICE could not provide the number of transgender people being detained in the entire system. The agency didn’t provide details about how the facility for transgender detainees would be different than other centers, and a regional ICE spokesman declined to make officials available for an interview. Advocates say transgender immigrants often face particular challenges, including a higher risk of sexual assault, an inability to get hormone replacement treatments, and dealing with guards unfamiliar with gender identity issues. A March report by Human Rights Watch on transgender people in immigration found that more than half of 28 women identified in the report were held in men’s facilities at some point during their detention. Half were held in solitary confinement. According to the report, one Honduran woman held at a detention center in Arizona reported being raped by three men and then being told by a guard, “You are the ones that cause these problems and always call the men’s attention.” Federal guidelines instruct detention staff to ask incoming detainees about their chosen gender identity and make accommodations based on their preference. The guidelines include instructions on conducting searches, providing clothing based on a detainee’s stated gender identity, and maintaining safety. The agency said Monday it would work with gay-rights groups in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, just northwest of where the facility is located, to assist transgender people in custody. But problems persist with the system, according to three experts familiar with transgender issues. They say the best step federal officials could take is to do away with transgender detention altogether. Carmina Ocampo, a staff attorney at the advocacy group Lambda Legal, said independent oversight is needed for detention facilities, particularly those run privately. “Without any mechanisms to enforce that, it just seems unlikely that transgender people will be kept safe and not subjected to abuse and mistreatment,” Ocampo said.

An MSNBC host had an unfortunate on-air mix-up while reporting on Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial Tuesday. MSNBC host Steve Kornacki used former President Bill Clinton’s name rather than Cosby’s while reporting on Cosby’s arrival at a Norristown, Pennsylvania, court, where the entertainer faces allegations of sexual assault. “We’re going to begin with that breaking news we told you about at the top,” Kornacki said. “Right now out of Pennsylvania, Bill Clinton is set to arrive at a suburban — excuse me, Bill Cosby is set to arrive at a suburban Philadelphia courthouse any moment now for a key hearing in his criminal sex assault case.” Cosby’s preliminary hearing is part of the criminal case in which he faces allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman after drugging her. Several women have also accused Clinton of sexual misconduct, allegations presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has noted in recent interviews and at campaign events.
