The Hill Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an order Tuesday that leaves the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) “forever barred” from examining President Trump’s prior tax returns. The memo prohibits the IRS from pursuing claims against Trump, his family or his businesses, saying the agency “releases, waives, acquits” its pending action and is “forever barred and precluded” from pursuing claims against the president. The document comes after the Justice Department and Trump moved to voluntarily dismiss a $10 billion lawsuit against the agency for leaking his tax returns. In exchange, the Justice Department created a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to provide an avenue for individuals who allege they’ve been unfairly treated by previous administrations.
