As Blanche's path to confirmation is cleared, Trump's tax audit immunity remains in place
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported30m ago
Todd Blanche has formally rescinded a proposed $1.8 billion fund, a move negotiated with Republican senators to secure his confirmation as Attorney General. The fund, previously labeled an 'Anti-Weaponization Fund,' was intended to settle a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump against the Internal Revenue Service and provide compensation to his political allies.
Following this decision, Donald Trump retains his existing tax audit immunity. The agreement between the Justice Department and lawmakers effectively ends the proposal, clearing a significant political hurdle for Blanche’s path to confirmation.
