A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that President Trump's lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, the resulting settlement from that lawsuit, the purported "Anti-Weaponization Fund", and the purported grant of immunity from tax investigations to the plaintiffs in President Trump's lawsuit, should be rejected, equal protection arguments by others with similar claims should be forestalled, and this settlement should not serve as a precedent and should never be repeated.

Summary

This resolution expresses the Senate's strong disapproval of a lawsuit filed by President Trump against the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of the Treasury, agencies he controls, following an IRS contractor's disclosure of his tax information. The lawsuit, seeking $10 billion, was filed well after the statute of limitations had expired, contrasting with other individuals who received no monetary compensation for similar disclosures. The resolution highlights a purported settlement that includes an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" of nearly $1.8 billion for individuals deemed to have "suffered weaponization," and a unilateral addendum granting immunity from IRS investigations to President Trump, his family, and affiliates. The Senate believes this settlement is "non-adversarial, collusive, and jurisdictionally improper" as determined by a district court. It is the sense of the Senate that this settlement, the fund, and the immunity should be rejected , as they grant special treatment inconsistent with the principle of equal protection under the law. Allowing this settlement to stand could create a precedent, enabling hundreds of thousands of other victims of tax information disclosure to claim similar immunity, potentially costing the federal government billions in lost revenue. Therefore, the resolution calls for the settlement to be repudiated and never repeated.
