A scathing assessment of a recent settlement has left many questioning the fairness of the Trump administration's handling of a long-standing lawsuit with the Internal Revenue Service. The lawsuit, which alleged that the Trump Organization had engaged in tax avoidance schemes, has been a contentious issue for years, with many critics accusing the Trump administration of using its power to shield the former president's business interests from scrutiny.

As details of the agreement emerge, it's becoming increasingly clear that the outcome may have far-reaching implications for the integrity of the US tax system.
No two ways about it: The Trump Justice Department settlement of the Trump IRS lawsuit looks terrible.
