There’s a Way to Stop Trump’s #IRS #SlushFund

by #JamieRaskin

These days it takes a spectacular burst of #corruption to get the attention of our scandal-weary nation, but #Trump & his admin have managed, once again, to transfix Americans by establishing a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund in the #DOJ that will undoubtedly be used to line the pockets of Trump’s partisans & foot soldiers — with your tax dollars.

#Senate #Republicans, unhappy with #Trump $1.8B settlement #SlushFund, delay a vote on paying for #immigration enforcement

Senate Republicans appeared increasingly unlikely to meet their self-imposed deadline for passing a ~$70 billion immigration enforcement bill as disputes over “security” funding for the Trump #ballroom & the $1.8 billion #MAGASlushFund derailed progress.

2 officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, sued the Trump admin to try to stop the creation of a $1.8 bn fund they argue would benefit #insurgents who committed violence to support Trump.

Ending his #IRS lawsuit could allow #Trump to pursue a #settlement instead [he’d likely lose the lawsuit, he might get $$ from a settlement].

Trump moved on Monday to dismiss his extraordinary $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS that claimed the tax agency had improperly released some of his financial records [records he had promised to release himself].
