“Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) on Monday agreed to pay more than $5 million in back taxes to settle a Department of Justice lawsuit stemming from nearly two decades ago. The Justice Department filed suit against Justice early on Monday, saying that the West Virginia Republican has ‘“neglected or refused to make full payment’ of $5.16 million in debt that he and his wife owed [sic] in 2009. It was filed in the Southern District of West Virginia and at the request of the IRS. Later in the day, a separate filing showed that Justice and his wife agreed to pay back [sic] the total in full. … The IRS filed tax liens against the Justices last month to the tune of more than $8 million, also dating back to 2009. The West Virginia lawmaker indicated to reporters last month that he believed the IRS’s claims against him were politically motivated.” (11/25/25)
