Donald Trump‘s administration has blocked the Internal Revenue Service from ever pursuing past audits against the President, his family, or his businesses, a maneuver that could spare him a tax bill estimated at up to $100 million.
The IRS is ‘forever barred and precluded’ from conducting ‘examinations’ of Trump, his ‘related or affiliated individuals,’ and any related trusts or businesses, according to a one-page DOJ document.
The provision was tacked onto an agreement reached earlier this week, when the Justice Department resolved a $10 billion lawsuit the President had brought against the agency by establishing a $1.8 billion fund for his political allies.
