Authors: THOMAS, PIERRE
Source: ABC World News Tonight with David Muir. 5/15/2026, p1-1. 1p.
Subjects: Tax returns, Trump, Donald, 1946-, United States. Internal Revenue Service, Actions & defenses (Law), Political stability, United States Capitol Insurrection, 2021, Disclosure, Taxation
Abstract: The article focuses on reports that President Donald Trump is negotiating a settlement of a $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the IRS and the Biden Justice Department, related to alleged mistreatment and the leak of his tax returns. The proposed deal would establish a nearly $2 billion fund to compensate individuals claiming to have been wronged by the Biden DOJ, potentially including January 6 Capitol rioters, with the fund managed by a commission subject to Trump's control and lacking transparency requirements. The plan has drawn criticism from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, who question its legality and characterize it as a politically motivated use of taxpayer money.
