Senator Jim Justice, a Republican and former governor of West Virginia, has agreed to pay over $5 million in long-overdue taxes, just hours after being sued by U.S. tax authorities. The first-term senator and his wife reached the settlement following a lawsuit accusing the couple of having "neglected or refused to make full payment" on taxes from 2009.
Justice, who led the state from 2017 until he took office as a senator in 2025, entered politics after decades running his family's coal empire, which controlled dozens of mines across several states.
