Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported28m ago
Todd Blanche, currently in negotiations for confirmation as attorney general, has formally rescinded a $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate political allies of President Donald Trump. Despite this action, a sweeping audit immunity plan previously granted to the president, his sons, and the Trump Organization remains in effect.
The decision to maintain the audit immunity while eliminating the compensation fund occurs as Blanche seeks support from Republican senators for his confirmation. The immunity plan continues to provide specific protections regarding tax audits for the president and his business interests.
