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.

"The White House🚨had indicated to Senate Republicans that Trump could veto any reconciliation bill that didn’t contain his priorities -- including East Wing money & not restricting the #weaponization fund, acc to multiple people familiar with the matter.
A White House official told
S Talcott that this isn't true."

Trump🚨will threaten R MOC. During their break, R Senators & Reps must decide if they want to support the #SlushFund, #Ballroom... & whatever else #Trump dreams up.

"Senate R’s⚡pitched ideas (like parameters for appointment of commissioners & restrictions on eligibility) but DOJ says there’s nothing to fix
Sen Cramer said DOJ might be right “from a legal standpoint”
But🚨from a political standpoint? “It’s unexplainable. That’s the problem”

#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.

Umm… say what now???
🚨🚨🚨
The agreement the #DOJ made with #Trump to settle his lawsuit against the #IRS includes a provision BARRING the agency from pursuing #tax claims against Trump, his family or his businesses. The new provision was released a day after DOJ agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit by creating a $1.8 billion compensation fund for people *he believes* were wronged by federal investigations or prosecutions.
Blanche will face questions from #Congress over a nearly $1.8B fund to compensate #Trump allies
