Republican Jim Justice to pay $5m in back taxes following government lawsuit
NegativeU.S News

- Republican US Senator Jim Justice and his wife have agreed to pay over $5 million in back taxes following a federal lawsuit regarding a 16-year-old debt. The lawsuit, filed in West Virginia, claims the couple was notified by the US Treasury Department about the owed funds since 2009 but failed to make full payments.
- This development raises questions about the financial accountability of public officials and may impact Justice's political standing, especially as he navigates his role as a senator while addressing significant tax obligations.
