    Congressman John Larson partners with other Democrats to Squash Trump’s Tax Immunity Deal

    Trump and his family’s tax immunity deal would prevent the government from investigating Trump, his family’s and companies’ tax returns and also allow them not to pay back taxes

    A new bill called the “Presidential Tax Accountability and Audit Integrity Act“, introduced by Larson and his democratic collegues would prevent the IRS or Treasury from entering into any agreement that changes the federal tax obligations of the President, his immediate family, or interested entities while in office.

    The bill stems from a legal dispute between the Trump and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which lawmakers labeled a “get out of jail free” tax scheme created by Trump so his taxes would not be audited for legal compliance.

    Congressman Larson explained that “Donald Trump’s sham lawsuit was nothing more than an attempt to line his own pocket with your tax dollars” said Larson. “While his lackeys at the Department of Justice may claim that it (the lawsuit) is not moving forward, he still secured a sweetheart deal to shield himself and his own from ever having to pay the taxes they owe.

    In his latest newsletter, Congressman John Larson explains that “the President has waged an unauthorized, illegal war against Iran.” In summary, he points out the following:

    • Eighteen (18) U.S. service members lost their lives and more than 100 have been injured.
    • America’s working families are being squeezed by skyrocketing energy prices due to this reckless war.”
    • Congress just passed a bill in the House to bring our troops home and the Congressman introduced the War Powers Act resolution take the Trump Administration to court and bring this war to an end for good.

    His final quote was “We must cut off funding for the illegal Iran war and take every available legal action to end it before more people are killed.”
