“Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an agreement Tuesday declaring the federal government will not seek any sort of audit or payment from the president, his family members and companies on pending tax claims as part of Donald Trump’s settlement agreement with the IRS.”

“In a sweeping one-page addendum to Monday’s settlement agreement establishing a nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, Blanche agreed that the U.S. is “FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing, any and all claims,” including “monetary relief,” that “have been or could have been” asserted by the IRS against Trump, his family or his businesses.”

“The addendum blocks the U.S. from seeking damages that could have been asserted against the plaintiffs — Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric and their company — as well as other family members and their companies in “any matters currently pending or that could be pending (including tax returns filed before the Effective Date) before Defendants or other agencies or departments.””
