Challenge to IRS Immunity Order
On August 6, NTEU joined a lawsuit in Virginia federal district court to challenge provisions of a Department of Justice order implementing a settlement that broadly grants immunity to the President, his family, and his family's business interests from tax audits. While other aspects of the settlement had previously been challenged in this lawsuit—and been subject of emergency relief that the district court granted—no claim had been brought against the sweeping tax auditing provisions that are widely believed to be illegal. The unlawful provisions require NTEU members to place themselves in an impossible position: defy a direct order and risk losing their job or carry out the illegal directive and violate their oath of office.
UPDATE: On August 21, the plaintiffs filed a motion to compel the government to give it information related to the case, also known as discovery. That same day the government filed a new motion to dismiss in response to the August 6 amended complaint. The court will hold a hearing on the motion to compel on Friday, August 28 and another on the motion to dismiss on September 18. In addition, the plaintiffs will send more discovery requests to the government today, August 24.
