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.

“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 creation of this fund is a stupefying feat of self-dealing—part of a “settlement agreement” between the Department of the #Treasury, which #Trump controls, & the plaintiffs—Trump, 2 of his sons & their family business—who sued the #IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. It will very likely result in an undeserved windfall to a legion of #Jan6 rioters who have already unjustly received #pardons from Trump.

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/

The lawsuit, filed by fmr Officer #HarryDunn of the US Capitol Police & Officer #DanielHodges of Washington’s Metropolitan Police, alleges that the #Trump admin has created a “slush fund to finance the insurrectionists & paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name.” It names as defendants President Trump as well as acting Attorney General #ToddBlanche & Treasury Secretary #ScottBessent.

"Trump gets his Board of Peace, even as bigger countries steer clear. America’s traditional allies are taking a backseat on the effort ... Trump, who has three years remaining in his final term, has appointed himself the board’s lifelong chairman, giving himself the unilateral authority to veto decisions, approve the agenda, and select his own successor":
