2026 House Resolution 325

Whereas, The people of Michigan expect their hard-earned tax dollars to be used responsibly, transparently, and in furtherance of the public good; and

Whereas, The American people’s tax dollars are being used to settle a lawsuit filed by President Trump, in his personal capacity, members of the Trump family, and the Trump Organization against the Internal Revenue Service and United States Department of Treasury; and

Whereas, As part of this settlement agreement, the President and members of his Administration have created a so-called “Anti-Weaponization Fund” which may channel taxpayer dollars to individuals convicted and later pardoned by the President of crimes arising from the violent attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021; and

Whereas, Among the potential recipients of such support are individuals affiliated with extremist organizations including the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, whose members participated in efforts to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power following the free and fair presidential election in 2020; and

Whereas, Numerous participants in the January 6 attack assaulted and injured law enforcement officers while attempting to obstruct the certification of the Electoral College vote of the 2020 presidential election; and

Whereas, Michigan taxpayers should never be compelled, directly or indirectly, to subsidize or legitimize individuals who engaged in political violence, attacks on police officers, or efforts to overturn lawful election results; and

Whereas, The use of public taxpayer monies for ideologically-motivated purposes that undermine confidence in democratic institutions represents the most profound and gravest breach of public trust possible by the Trump-Vance Administration; and

Whereas, Elected officials have taken a solemn oath to defend the Constitution and faithfully discharge the duties of their office, which include upholding our democracy, supporting law enforcement, and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent in a lawful and ethical manner; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge President Trump, the Internal Revenue Service, and all parties to the settlement agreement creating the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to rescind the agreement; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to President Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, the Chief Executive Officer of the Internal Revenue Service, and the Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury.
