#ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general.

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.”

“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.

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.

“In abdicating its responsibility to zealously defend the interests of the United States, the #Government entered into a ‘settlement’ that deviated from its litigation posture in similar actions, disregarded #DOJ policies, & accomplished objectives beyond those authorized, as well as those specifically prohibited, by #law,” Williams wrote.

Williams’ 56-page opinion blasted the behavior of both the #DOJ — stating that the admin’s response to the case disregarded DOJ policies & potentially the #law — & of the private attorneys who brought the lawsuit on #Trump’s behalf.

#Republicans cleared the last major hurdle overnight when they defeated an amendment proposed by one of their own members, Louisiana Sen. #BillCassidy, that would have redirected payments from the settlement to members of law enforcement who were injured when a mob of #Trump supporters seeking to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss attacked the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021.

#Impotent #Senate OKs $70B #immigration bill after rejecting efforts to permanently ban #Trump #SlushFund
The Senate passed legislation to fund Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday, after weeks of delays & fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

#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.

Senator #SusanCollins, Republican of Maine, just voted for Schumer’s motion, the first #Republican to vote “yes.”
This motion can still fail if three Republicans vote for it, if everyone is voting. Collins is up for re-election in a critical & competitive state.
Senator #ThomTillis, who voted no, is not running for re-election.

During the #House #Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, #Democrats repeatedly requested that #ToddBlanche commit in writing to rescinding the order creating the weaponization #SlushFund.
“I’m not committing to putting anything in writing,” he said, saying only that he would abide by his word.

She also noted that only #ToddBlanche signed the tax audit provision. The separate, 9-page agreement laying out the $1.8 billion #SlushFund was signed by Woodward & Frank Bisignano, who is serving as the “chief executive officer of the #IRS”, a newly created role [created by the #Trump admin in October 2025] that is not subject to #Senate confirmation.

After #Trump “withdrew” the suit, senior #DOJ officials released a pair of extraordinary agreements that settled the case by establishing a $1.8 billion #SlushFund to compensate people who claimed they were victims of government “weaponization” by Democrats.
The deal also conferred extremely lucrative tax benefits on Trump, his family & his businesses.

The former #judges argued that #Trump & the #FederalGovernment is improperly using the IRS lawsuit “to allow a ‘commission’ controlled by the President to dole out $1.776 billion in taxpayer dollars without constitutional or congressional authority” & to obtain “unlawful private benefits to the President & his family” by barring any #audits of prior #taxes.

The fmr #judges asked the #court to utilize a rule that would allow Williams to set aside the judgment & reopen the case for a “judicial review of the extraordinary — & historically unprecedented — circumstances presented by this litigation & by the collusive ‘settlement’ that invokes this litigation as the legal justification for its terms.”

After the plaintiffs asked to voluntarily “drop” the lawsuit, Williams dismissed & closed the case, noting that there was “no settlement of record.” Trump’s attorneys said in a court filing that they did not believe their deal with the #IRS required #judicial approval.

“The unlawfulness that has imbued the Anti-Weaponization Fund from its inception requires that it be wholly dismantled,” the suit says.
Another advocacy group, Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington [#CREW], separately filed its own lawsuit on Friday in Washington, DC, to challenge the “#SlushFund ” created by #Trump’s “sham settlement.” CREW’s suit refers to the fund as “a jaw-dropping act of presidential #corruption.”

You mean the $1,776,000,000 "Anti-Weaponization Fund"?
