Rep. Kustoff, R-Tenn., argued on "Mornings with Maria" Monday that a Biden administration proposal to hand Americans' bank access over to the Internal Revenue Service is "absolutely ridiculous" and a "gross invasion of privacy." Kustoff went on to note "we don't want the IRS looking at bank accounts of $600."

But right now, that is still in the plan.

It is absolutely ridiculous. And it's a it's a huge invasion in all of our privacies. We don't want the IRS looking at bank accounts of $600."
