Lois Lerner is sworn in before testifying to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday, May 22, in Washington. As the Internal Revenue Service director of exempt organizations, Lerner headed the division involved in targeting conservative groups. She invoked her constitutional right against self-incrimination and refused to answer questions from the congressional committee.
