A brief Justice Department document posted online states that officials will not pursue certain matters that are already pending, including matters involving President Donald Trump’s tax returns and those of his family. The pledge is described as part of a compensation fund deal reached by the department. The document characterizes the commitment as applying broadly to “any matters… that are pending,” rather than only to a specific IRS action. The New York Times reports that the posting is a one-page notice that links the non-pursuit promise to the compensation fund settlement. In practical terms, the agreement is presented as an order or binding understanding that prevents the IRS and related officials from continuing investigations or enforcement steps tied to active cases while those matters remain pending. The reporting indicates that the document’s scope covers tax-return-related inquiries concerning the president and his family, at least for the cases currently underway. The sources do not indicate that the agreement ends any future examinations definitively; rather, it addresses the pursuit of pending matters. The document is posted quietly on the Justice Department website, according to the reports.
