The Department of Justice has permanently abandoned plans for a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization compensation fund created to settle a lawsuit by Donald Trump against the Internal Revenue Service, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testified to a House panel on Tuesday.
But Trump, his family members and related business entities remain protected from tax audits and enforcement actions in connection with tax returns filed before last month’s out-of-court settlement of his lawsuit, Blanche told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.
Blanche, who previously served as Trump’s criminal defense attorney, personally signed off on the DOJ’s May 19 addendum to the settlement of the lawsuit that gave Trump and his family that protection, a day after the deal was announced.
I too wish I could sue myself then make a deal with myself that makes me immune to being tax audited.
Hmm. That’s strange, you can’t?
Have you tried being a sleazebag conman born into too much wealth to experience any real human need, spending your life systematically avoiding or discarding all moral responsibility? That’s usually the step people forget.
It’s gonna be hilarious when someone not corrupt gets into office and orders an audit.
“b…b… but they said crime was legal as long as I did it!”
I mean, most likely he dies never having experienced a consequence, but I can dream…
But there’s the rest of the crime family
the honorable kathleen m. williams will certainly have something to say about that, so don’t advise your ‘client’ to start scheming tax cheats quite yet.
