What Congress Should Do About the President’s Sweetheart Deal in Trump v. U.S.
Acting Attorney General Blanche confirmed the Trump administration is abandoning a $1.8 billion fund tied to a lawsuit against the IRS, which aimed to block tax audits of the President and affiliated individuals. Congress is urged to block the settlement, investigate potential tax code violations, and prevent future administrations from exploiting IRS authority to resolve taxpayer disputes.
