Outlets across the political spectrum are reporting on the settlement with a universally negative tone toward Senator Justice. While center-right sources like the New York Post focus on the formal agreement to resolve the DOJ claim, left-leaning outlets such as The New Republic use more pointed language, framing the settlement as a consequence of "dodging" the IRS for over a decade.
