Leader Schumer On The DOJ’s Corrupt IRS Settlement With Trump: “Self-dealing With A Government Seal”

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) released a statement on the DOJ's decision to expand Trump's IRS settlement to include a pledge that the IRS will no longer pursue any claims it may have against Trump, his family members, and his companies over unpaid taxes:

"Donald Trump's message is clear: laws for thee, not for me.

"As families scrape to afford groceries, mortgages, gas, and health care, Trump is handing himself a get-out-of-jail-free card - and sticking American families with the bill.

"He sued the government he runs, had his own DOJ settle the case, and pocketed the prize: special IRS protection for the Trump family. That is self-dealing with a government seal.

"Republicans' silence says it all: nothing for taxpayers, nothing for families - just payouts, protection, and special treatment for Trump."
