Donald Trump’s IRS and Social Security chief allegedly used hi-tech software to spy on emails sent by colleagues and rivals during his time as an executive at JPMorgan Chase.

Frank Bisignano, 66, now oversees the two federal agencies that hold financial records on nearly every American taxpayer.

The alleged spying, https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/irs-bisignano-spying-jpmorgan-6cd1ddf0?mod=hp_lead_pos7" rel="">first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, dates to his tenure more than 10 years ago as the group’s co-chief operating officer.

The newspaper, citing people who worked with him, claims that Bisignano ordered his security team to run software that cracked open the inboxes of those he viewed as competition—among them, Charlie Scharf, then the bank’s consumer-banking head and now Wells Fargo’s chief executive.
