The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/2ptzPY9) reports that an attorney for the tea party groups says the public should know what happened. U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett will hear arguments May 19 in a closed hearing.

“Generally, our position is that this is a matter of great public interest and there is no legal basis for sealing the depositions or the arguments about whether the depositions should be sealed,” attorney Edward Greim said. He said he couldn’t discuss the sealed filings.

Lerner, former head of the IRS exempt-organizations division, resigned. Paz was reassigned.

The Justice Department concluded an investigation by saying no IRS officials would face criminal charges over the tax-exempt applications. The IRS has said it took action to improve handling of the applications.
