Senate Resolution Against Trump IRS Settlement and Tax Immunity
A senate committee must act next: committee consideration.
This is a non-binding resolution introduced by a member of the opposing party, meaning it has no legal power to change the settlement and is unlikely to pass a divided Senate.

The underlying settlement's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' would pay nearly $1.8 billion to people Trump says were victims of government overreach, explicitly including 'rioters who stormed the Capitol and attacked law enforcement on January 6, 2021.' This resolution calls for that fund and settlement to be rejected, which would block those payouts, but as a non-binding sense-of-the-Senate measure stuck in committee, it has no legal power to actually stop the payments.
“the Federal Government would establish an ``Anti-Weaponization Fund'' to provide nearly $1,800,000,000 in taxpayer payouts to individuals who President Trump deemed to have ``suffered weaponization and lawfare'', including rioters who stormed the Capitol and attacked law enforcement on January 6, 2021”

Official Title
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.
