The US Department of Justice published a filing related to the settlement between President Donald Trump and the IRS, which bars the IRS from pursuing claims against Trump and his affiliates regarding tax returns submitted before the settlement. This addendum, signed by Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche, broadens the original agreement and raises concerns about the IRS's independence and executive authority. The lawsuit has sparked controversy as it involves a sitting president suing a federal agency under his control, leading to the creation of a $1.776 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' for those subjected to politically motivated investigations.
