Virginia joins challenge to Trump’s controversial IRS settlement
Virginia Attorney Jay Jones joined a coalition of 22 Democratic attorneys general challenging a settlement in a lawsuit against the IRS, arguing it creates a fund that could benefit Jan. 6 defendants. The coalition claims the agreement between President Donald Trump and the Justice Department is collusive and shields Trump and his interests.
