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.

Show full summary
- President Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization: The resolution would oppose the lawsuit's settlement after a suit that sought $10 billion and a proposed payout of about $1.8 billion.
- People whose tax data were disclosed: It notes that a contractor exposed data for hundreds of thousands of individuals and says others who sued generally received little or no monetary compensation.
- Taxpayers and enforcement: It warns against creating a precedent that could block future tax investigations or create costly carve-outs for specific plaintiffs.
*The resolution says broad immunity and the fund would likely reduce federal revenue by millions or billions if adopted.*
