The deal also extended unusual tax protections to #Trump, his family & their businesses, shielding them from all past tax claims — an extremely lucrative benefit for Trump who has repeatedly complained about burdensome #IRS audits.

…At issue for both senators is the agreement #ToddBlanche & the #DOJ announced in the spring to resolve #Trump’s lawsuit against the #IRS over the leak of his personal tax returns.
The deal, which was NOT approved by a #court, would have created a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded pool of money to reward people who claim they were victims of politically motivated prosecutions.

Crap. Now #Trump is saying he’ll just wait until #JohnCornyn & #ThomTillis leave the #Senate, & then he’ll re-nominate #ToddBlanche.
Trump suggested Thursday that he could withdraw Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, as a standoff continues with the 2 Republican senators who are demanding concessions from the admin before supporting Blanche.

#Trump said Thursday he may pull the nomination of #ToddBlanche for Attorney General, looking to avoid concessions to holdout #Republicans. Lawmakers on Wednesday scrapped a planned committee vote after key Republicans demanded more assurances about the “settlement” of Trump’s lawsuit against the #IRS.
That would give the Trump admin 3 AGs in less than 2 years.

The reasons for creating the #SlushFund, #ToddBlanche told lawmakers, “remain as important as they were before.”
[Cornyn & Thillis better stay strong & yovte against this confirming this corrupt lickspittle. More #Republicans should be against him!]

“This answer is, at best, misleading &, at worst, disingenuous. The court was available to review any pleading by any party at any time during this lawsuit,” the judge wrote.
Another federal judge, Leonie M. Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia, has left alive a lawsuit seeking to dismantle the #SlushFund.

The “settlement” for Paul Vaughn, who was #convicted by a Tennessee jury in 2024 of conspiring to prevent access to an #abortion clinic, shows how the goal of the $1.8 billion fund announced in May can continue, despite a public retreat by #ToddBlanche [& a court order]. An already existing avenue for disbursing #TaxpayersMoney could allow him to assuage skeptical #Republicans while fulfilling #Trump’s desire to pay people he believes were wronged by the #DOJ.

As senators delayed a crucial vote on #ToddBlanche’s nomination to be attorney general over the so-called weaponization fund, a million-dollar payment the #DOJ made to an #AntiAbortion activist underscored how it could still funnel #TaxpayersMoney to people who claim to be victims of government persecution [& whose politics #Trump agrees with].

The #MAGA #SlushFund is Still Active Despite Court Order Payouts to #Trump Allies Continue
A seven-figure “settlement” was announced hours before senators skeptical about the so-called weaponization fund delayed a crucial vote on #ToddBlanche’s nomination to be #US #AttorneyGeneral.

#Republicans appear to be in a holding pattern while they figure out how to address the issue of the $1.8 billion #SlushFund. We are still waiting on votes from 3 Republicans: #BillCassidy of Louisiana, #JonHusted of Ohio & #DanSullivan of Alaska.
Husted & Sullivan are both up for re-election. Cassidy recenty lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger.

Why doesn't this lead to Donald Trump's impeachment already? Has the Overton window widened so much that our sensibilities have become dull to the fact that this obvious slush fund makes every American endlessly taxable? Will someone please go stop the wrecking ball that is currently in motion before it wreaks further havoc? https://reason.com/2026/05/21/trumps-corruption-is-brazen-obvious-and-costly-will-enough-republicans-try-to-stop-him/
