Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin last week announced that certain tax-exempt organizations, ranging from trade associations to the National Rifle Association, would no longer have to include donors' names and addresses on the annual tax returns they file with the IRS.
Mnuchin said the IRS doesn't need that information to enforce tax law. But the change drew sharp criticism from campaign-finance watchdogs, who argued it limits the government's ability to scrutinize those donations and track improper activity.
Bullock, who had made limiting corporate influence in elections a top issue in his state, said Tuesday the change could open the door to foreign influence.
