Trump, IRS
Digest more
The Trump administration said it is settling a presidential lawsuit over leaked tax data by establishing a $1.776 billion fund to pay people who say they were victims of judicial "weaponization" under President Joe Biden.
The president deflects personal involvement in the historic multi-billion-dollar deal while confirming Capitol rioters could receive taxpayer compensation.
It is true that the judge supervising the case pointed out that while Trump is suing the IRS in a personal capacity, he leads the agency in an official capacity. As such, she has asked both his lawyers and the Department of Justice to file memorandums demonstrating whether there is enough opposition between the two parties to warrant a lawsuit.
