Although it's illegal for a president to direct IRS actions, the IRS is reportedly preparing to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status, a move seen as part of Donald Trump’s ongoing attacks on higher education institutions. Trump recently called for the revocation on his Truth Social platform, accusing Harvard of promoting political and ideological agendas, which he claims violate the conditions for tax exemption.
The White House claims the IRS investigation began independently before Trump’s public remarks. Legal experts note there's no evidence Harvard violated any tax laws, and revoking its status would likely be unlawful.
