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.”

Judge Brinkema said the case remained open because #ToddBlanche & the #DOJ refused to file an affidavit under penalty of perjury “that they will not take any action to create or operate” the payout fund & that it “will not proceed in any manner, under any name.”
Blanche has pushed back against such demands. Even as he promised lawmakers in June that the #SlushFund was dead, he said that “I’m not committing to putting anything in writing.”

“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.

…2 weeks ago, Judge Kathleen Williams of Federal District Court in Southern District of Florida wrote that she was “extremely troubled” by Blanche’s answers to the #Senate about the #SlushFund.
In testimony in May, #ToddBlanche told senators there was “no mechanism” for a legal review of the agreement creating the fund. He argued documents had never been submitted to a court for scrutiny because the case, a lawsuit #Trump filed against the #IRS over the leak of his tax returns, was dismissed.

Vaughn will receive a seven-figure settlement from the US government, his lawyers said, making him among those aligned with the #Trump admin who have received a payout by an alternative means.
…The continuing ability of the #DOJ to make such payouts with or without a formal fund structure is one of the sticking points between the Trump admin & Republican senators as they weigh the nomination of #ToddBlanche….

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.

Cornyn said he did not know what the holdup was, but he did not rule out that #Trump was intent on keeping the tax provision in place.
“I can see why he wants it, because it provides immunity from audits no other taxpayer would get,” Cornyn added.

Cornyn seemed to grow increasingly annoyed as the day dragged on. “Why don’t you call over the Department of Justice & tell them they have 1 hour & 50 minutes to get me what I asked for?” he said. “We actually sent them a red-line strikeout of what we need, & they just need to make a decision.”

Cornyn scoffed at the idea that he was on a vengeance trip, telling the herd of reporters trailing him from meetings, “That’s a convenient excuse & it happens to be untrue.”
#ToddBlanche, who can continue as “acting” attorney general indefinitely, cannot afford to lose a single #Republican vote if he hopes to gain a title he has long coveted.
He appears, for the moment, to be 2 short.

That kicked off a day of frenetic back & forth, with no sign that #ToddBlanche was willing, or empowered, to trade a concession to secure his own elevation as the #Senate-confirmed leader of the #DOJ.
#Trump, speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, chalked up Cornyn’s resistance to the senator’s pique at his defeat at the hands of Paxton.🙄

Senator Cornyn repeatedly expressed astonishment on Wednesday that the #Trump admin did not simply comply with what he regarded as a narrow request to place limits on a deal.
Cornyn, stating that he was not “prepared to vote yes,” gave the #DOJ until 4PM to produce clear written guarantees on the fund & tax deal, & scrapped a scheduled meeting with Blanche on Wednesday morning.

That the fate of an #US attorney general would be jeopardized by the administration’s apparent determination to keep in place a #tax deal offering a sitting president enormous financial advantages illustrated a defining characteristic of #Trump’s second term∶ a president’s personal interest…is now a factor in governing.

The tax provision emerged as the biggest sticking point on the eve of a scheduled #Judiciary Cmte vote. Cornyn, a former state #judge who lost a primary to a #Trump backed challenger, Ken Paxton [total POS], said he had received no written assurances from #ToddBlanche that the #IRS audit shield would not apply to future tax liabilities or be extended to a wider circle of people.

In June, #ToddBlanche said he would drop a proposed $1.8 billion fund to compensate so-called “victims”🙄 [ #Jan6 insurgents] of Biden-era actions by the #DOJ but said a provision shielding #Trump & his family from tax investigations would remain in place.

Amazing they can recognize the corruption in this situation but not in so many others. Still I’ll take it. I just hope they can maintain their resistance.

Update in #Trump v. #IRS, (26-cv-20609) District Court, S.D. Florida, the case that was the fig leaf for #ToddBlanche to sign off creating the #Jan6 "Anti-Weaponization Fund" and then the judge was convinced the whole thing was a demonstrable scam on the court and sent Trump's attorneys for sanctions. #SlushFund #LawFedi https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72207870/trump-v-internal-revenue-service/
Well, someone quipped that MAGA stands for Making Attorneys Get Attorneys and Brito now has a replacement (Doc 109) and a lawyer to call his own (Doc 110).
What can this development mean? Are they about to appeal Judge William's Order (Doc 106) to the 11th Circuit?
Can you appeal a referral to your state bar association?
Or are they just here to contest the expected motion for reimbursement from the amici who worked on arguments that never had their day in court due to the sham adversity between the parties? That motion is due by 2026/07/27.

Pre-trial conference in Floyd v. Department of Justice (26-cv-01399) District Court, E.D. Virginia shifted back another week to 2026/07/22.
This is the lawsuit against the #Jan6 #SlushFund which #ToddBlanche was given a chance to nope out of just by saying (in a sworn statement) that the idea was dead and gone, and he got all huffy.
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73383692/floyd-v-department-of-justice/
Is this rescheduling because of the magistrate judge's schedule or DOJ staffing issues?

56-page order from Judge Williams deciding that they agree with Supreme Court and Trump in that Trump was suing himself and none of this is an Article III matter. Trump attorneys to face the flames.
Summary of this order (Doc 106):
pp. 3–5 obviously Trump knew about leaker but statute of limitations ran out. Also, only v. Trump did DOJ not defend IRS.
pp. 6–9 posture of DOJ and "settlement" were preposterous.
pp. 9–11 Despite voluntary dismissal, court still has a role.
pp. 11–17 If no adversity, there is no controversy, if there is no controversy, there is not Article III jurisdiction.
pp. 17–21 Logic and the Supreme Court said Trump is suing himself.
pp. 21–23 Trump's Executive Order says Trump is suing himself.
pp. 23–26 DOJ conduct suggests they were obeying that E.O.
pp. 26–27 Trump reinforced this doctrine.
pp. 27–38 No one involved is operating legally or ethically.
pp. 38–54 All attorneys for Trump and DOJ in this matter should go to hell, but the court will instead bar those that it can, fine those that it can, and refer all to bar associations.
pp. 54-56 Fuck you and your kleptocracy very much.
