Finance Republicans kill bid to stop Trump IRS audit-immunity deal

Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee blocked a Democratic effort to stop the Trump administration's plan to shield President Trump from IRS audits. The 14-13 vote killed an amendment to a tax bill, which passed 26-1 with Sen. Elizabeth Warren opposing it. The plan involves Trump dropping a lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for audit immunity, with negotiations ongoing over clarifying its scope.
