The justice department quietly added a provision barring the IRS from auditing Donald Trump’s tax returns on Tuesday, amending a widely criticized agreement that creates a secretive and loosely controlled $1.776bn fund to compensate allies of the president.
The addendum, signed by Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, says the government is “forever barred” and “precluded” from examining the tax returns of Trump, his family, company and “related companies”. The agreement applies to anything filed before the agreement was reached. It was posted on the justice department website on Tuesday morning, a day after the department announced creation of the fund.
Lol. He thinks he king
So far he is right.

After ten long years of no consequences whatsoever, I’m kinda leaning to the you-brought-this-on-yourselves… Still wish you good luck, though.
Lol. That’s not a thing. This is an outright signal that they missed something that was easily open to prosecution.
“missed”
“Missed” meaning they probably disclosed something they were supposed to keep off the books.
Clearly the behavior of someone that has nothing to hide.
Also,
I can’t wait until they audit him for real, and he starts screaming about his “Perfect Settlement.”
Look if your gonna take whatever incredible mind altering drugs youre on the least you could do is share them with the rest of the class
The fund amount is a dog whistle for 1776.
1776 for Trump, zero for you.
They will receive justice. Otherwise the US is just a failed state.
US has been a failed state for a long time. It’s just that Americans wouldn’t see it. Any attempt to talk about corruption and dangers of 2 party system (and both parties have same owners) was always met with ridicule and chest beating. I suppose decades of propaganda that never stopped did its thing. And now those same people are asking me what are they supposed to do, because there is nothing they can do (according to their own words)? Always fucking victims. Same people that bragged about 2nd amendment and their heroism and freedoms are now victim tweeting all day long. And they think that is resistance. They can’t handle the thought of losing their comfort(s).
America is a country of cowards now. And it didn’t use to be.
I always used to say that US’ biggest export was corruption. It still is.
Remember that if you criticize the Democratic party and don’t ‘vote blue no matter who,’ you’re a Russian operative undermining the US election process. It’s not that you have a fully functional brain and see both sides are actually all on one side. Russian operative. Only option.
/s, fucking Americans
America is 100% a country of selfish cowards.
Name one president who has received justice for criminal acts in the USA in 250 years.
True. 🤷♂️🤷🤷♀️
What was does not need to be what will be, things can change. If we somehow claw things back from the fascists I, for one, will be screaming from rooftops if the Trump crime family is not imprisoned entirely or forced to run somewhere like Russia.
Trump is merely a vigorous test of the American democratic system, and that system has thoroughly failed. It lacks safeguards, guardrails, and checks and balances. If USA survives Trump presidency, and that is an IF, they need to rectify all of its failings immediately. Otherwise they are just inviting another authoritarian to take it over and make it a dictatorship.
You dropped this
IF
America has always been an authoritarian dictatorship of capital. The rich have always ruled this country with impunity, and workers have never been allowed to hold real political power. American democracy has always been an illusion and marketing trick.
maybe we survive just because he is an incompetent baffoon and this is the wake up call that fixes everything… Right? Tell me its gonna be ok mommy?
It might be if we don’t turn around and elect Joe Biden or some other dinosaur again

what a stupid time to be alive.
I really should have killed myself like I said I would. But fuck, I want to be part of the world’s largest block party when he fucking dies.
please -just live- man. I know all this shit is whack but it’s life. good and bad comes and goes.
time is the real fucker.
Depression is a helluva drug
What kind of malarkey is this? The writers of real life should be fired
Cool and normal.
Totally normal thing to see in a healthy democracy.
Joke of a country
I am looking forward to the “LegalEagle” breakdown of how this is complete bullshit….
You don’t need an expert to tell you this is bullshit, it’s complete bullshit, the president is a citizen of the United States like the rest of us.
Not according to SCOTUS. They ruled he is above the laws.
Lemmy Americans are bizarre, you guys really don’t understand what has been happening since 2025.
You’re totally right since this doesn’t even come close to passing the smell test. I just like when they dunk on this shit. Not that anyone will ever do anything about it.
