WASHINGTON (AP) — When acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed off on a nearly $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate President Donald Trump’s allies for alleged political prosecution, he may have pleased his boss.

But the eyebrow-raising move — the latest in his push to prove his loyalty to Trump — has agitated the same Republican lawmakers he would need to secure the permanent job.

DOJ Settlement ‘Forever’ Bars IRS Trump Audits, Sparks Backlash


The Department of Justice has issued an order that permanently bars the IRS from auditing past tax returns of President Donald Trump, his family, and related companies as part of a settlement that also creates a nearly $1.8 billion fund.

Under the terms of the settlement reached on May 18, the president filed a voluntary dismissal of his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS on the same day, two days before a court deadline to address jurisdictional challenges to the case. ...

Settlement Ends Lawsuit, Creates Permanent Bar on IRS Audits​

The agreement stems from a lawsuit filed on January 29, 2026, by President Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and The Trump Organization. The complaint alleged the IRS and Treasury failed to safeguard their tax information from unauthorized disclosure by former IRS contractor Charles E. Littlejohn, who was sentenced to five years in prison for the leak.

A day after the dismissal, the DOJ issued a one-page order signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The order states that the United States agreed to “forever” release and discharge the plaintiffs from all government claims. It also precludes the government from pursuing future actions, such as tax “examinations or similar or related reviews,” against President Trump, his family, trusts, and affiliated companies for any tax returns filed before the settlement date.

The order covers “any matters that were raised or could have been raised” in the lawsuit and “any matters currently pending or that could be pending.”...
 
The above is giving Trump and his family full IMMUNITY to commit any and all financial crimes now or in the future and that the government COULD NOT INVESTIGATE OR CHARGE them.
 
Attorneys know that having AG on their resume puts them at a level above almost all lawyers in the land. Blanche wants it so badly that he will do anything Trump tells him to. Even this, which is so horrible and unethical that few woulkd do it. Blanche will.
