Justice Department Bars IRS from Auditing Trump and Family Under Expanded Settlement

The Justice Department expanded its settlement with President Trump to permanently bar the IRS from investigating Trump and his family for past tax issues, effectively granting them immunity from pending and future audits on historical returns. The agreement, described by officials as "forever," covers tax claims dating back years. A top Treasury lawyer resigned after the creation of what was called an "anti-weaponization fund," and a DOJ official told a GOP ally that large payouts were coming for January 6 defendants.
