Trump sued his own government. His DOJ settled. Now there’s a $1.7B ‘slush fund’ for his allies.

President Donald Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns, and the U.S. Department of Justice announced a $1.776 billion settlement fund for individuals it claims were affected by 'weaponization and lawfare.' Democrats criticized the fund as a 'slush fund,' suggesting it may benefit those pardoned by Trump for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
