Trump still protected from tax enforcement, but anti-weaponization fund is dead, Blanche says
- The Department of Justice will not operate a planned $1.8 billion compensation fund that was created to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump against the Internal Revenue Service, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testified to a House panel.
- But Trump, his family members and related business entities remain protected from tax audits and enforcement actions in connection with tax returns filed before last month’s out-of-court settlement of his lawsuit, Blanche said.
- “We are not moving forward with the fund, period,” Blanche told Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., the ranking member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.
