Trump's Former Defense Lawyer Signs Order Making Trump "FOREVER BARRED" From IRS Audits — Federal Law Says the President Can't Do That
Acting AG Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal defense attorney — signed a one-page addendum to the IRS settlement declaring the government is "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from auditing Trump, his family, trusts, or businesses on any past tax returns. Federal law gives the IRS independent audit authority that the AG has no power to waive. A long-running audit could have cost Trump $100M+. His former lawyer just erased it. Public Citizen called it illegal. An NYU tax law expert called it "a breathtaking abuse of the tax and legal system."
