Three Democratic senators—Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and Ron Wyden—are investigating a U.S. government agreement that bars past tax probes of President Donald Trump and his businesses. The settlement, part of a broader plan to create a $1.8 billion fund for victims of alleged government 'weaponization,' was reached after Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over a 2019 leak of his tax information. The senators sent letters to multiple companies affiliated with Trump, including the The Trump Organization, World Liberty Financial, Trump Media & Technology Group, Kalshi Inc., Polymarket, CapitalG, Powerus, Foundation Future Industries, Tag Air, American Bitcoin, and Kaz Resources, asking whether they believe the agreement protects them from legal violations. Some companies have responded, denying coverage or calling the inquiry a partisan stunt. The Justice Department has not commented.
