Trump’s IRS Deal Tests Constitutional Limits
from Philip Teresi · host KMJ
Critics are raising serious legal questions about a Trump‑linked settlement that created a $1.7+ billion “anti‑weaponization” fund. The deal is highly unusual because it involves the federal government effectively settling with itself, after Trump sued the IRS while also overseeing the Justice Department handling the case. Legal experts and lawmakers are questioning whether the fund is constitutional, properly authorized by Congress, and free from conflicts of interest, with concerns it could direct taxpayer money to political allies or even people tied to past prosecutions.
