The Justice Department on Tuesday issued an expanded settlement agreement with President Donald Trump that includes broad language stating that the Internal Revenue Service is “forever barred” from “examinations” of Trump, his family members and businesses.
The one-page addendum, which appeared on the DOJ website Tuesday, was signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. It adds to the 9-page document issued Monday, which concluded his lawsuit over the leaking of his tax returns.
Monday’s agreement also saw the creation of a controversial $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” to compensate allies of the president who were investigated by the federal government under the Biden administration.
