The senators want the Inspector General for Tax Administration to probe whether any laws have been broken that bar political interference in the audit work of the IRS.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch is defending the settlement, asserting Trump and his family will not receive any direct financial benefit.
But the deal also seems to shield Trump from any legal problems over his past tax returns.
Carrie Johnson, NPR News, Washington.
President Trump says the U.S.
Yeah, President Trump's orders targeted several major law firms.
He went about that several ways using security clearances and access to government buildings.
And he tried to prevent the firms from winning federal contracts with the government, too.
These law firms had once employed people who investigated Donald Trump, like attorneys in the Russia probe, or they had represented causes or clients like the Democratic National Committee.
Here's what the president had to say when he signed one of those orders last year.
Now, four of those law firms fought back in court, Wilmer Hale, Jenner & Block, Perkins Coie, and Sussman Godfrey, and they all won before judges who were appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents.
But this administration says courts cannot tell the president how to handle national security clearances, and they cannot interfere with directives about building access or government contracts.
Today, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C.
Circuit is going to hear the case.
How are the law firms preparing to make their case?
The firms are looking to Supreme Court precedent that says our justice system depends on an informed and independent bar.
They're going to argue these orders violate the First Amendment and pose a severe threat to the legal profession and the rule of law.
And they say in court papers, the adversarial system depends on courts hearing views from both sides.
Lawyers need to be able to represent unpopular causes.
