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.
This Senate resolution expresses opposition to a settlement between President Trump and the Department of Justice regarding a lawsuit Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service over the disclosure of his tax information. The settlement, announced in May 2026, would have established an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" providing approximately $1.8 billion in taxpayer payments to individuals Trump deemed victims of weaponization, and would have granted Trump, his family, his companies, and affiliates immunity from future IRS investigations and audits. The resolution argues that this settlement is improper because Trump filed his lawsuit after the statute of limitations had expired, other victims of the same tax disclosure received no monetary compensation, and granting such immunity could create equal protection problems for hundreds of thousands of other victims who might claim similar treatment. The Senate resolution calls for rejecting the settlement, preventing similar equal protection arguments from being used by others, and ensuring this arrangement never becomes precedent for future cases.
