What We Don\u2019t Know<\/h2>\n

Whether the status of the immunity deal could change at all to help usher Blanche\u2019s nomination through the Senate. Politico reported<\/u> late Monday that Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is still trying to get the Trump administration to modify the settlement agreement as a condition of him supporting Blanche\u2019s nomination. While Cornyn\u2019s primary concern has been the DOJ killing the $1.776 billion \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund established through the settlement agreement, the Texas senator\u2014whose time in the Senate is coming to an end after losing his primary\u2014said he also has concerns about the immunity deal. Both the fund and the immunity deal \u201care the issues we\u2019re continuing to discuss with the administration to see whether we can get a modification of the settlement agreement,\u201d Cornyn told Politico. The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote next week on whether Blanche\u2019s nomination should move forward to the full Senate, and, following the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the vote could fail if even a single GOP senator opposes Blanche.<\/p>\n

What Does The Immunity Deal Say?<\/h2>\n

The immunity deal says<\/u> the U.S. is \u201cforever barred\u201d from prosecuting or bringing civil claims against Trump, his two oldest sons, the Trump Organization and other \u201caffiliated individuals\u201d for actions that already happened by the date of the settlement, both tied to the IRS suit and for \u201cany matters currently pending or that could be pending\u201d before other government agencies. It also prohibits the IRS from taking action against any tax returns filed before the settlement date in May, which has broadly been interpreted as barring the agency from auditing Trump\u2019s taxes<\/u>. The vague language of the agreement makes its full scope unclear, and Blanche alleged to the Senate Judiciary Committee that it\u2019s more narrow than its language suggests. He claimed it only impacts actions brought by the IRS and Treasury Department, despite the text of the agreement explicitly saying it impacts matters \u201cbefore Defendants or other agencies or departments.\u201d When asked about that discrepancy in the written questions sent to Blanche, the nominee responded only that the document \u201cspeaks for itself.\u201d He has also noted it doesn\u2019t use the word \u201caudit\u201d to discuss Trump\u2019s taxes, claiming it doesn\u2019t bar audits of his tax returns, and suggested it doesn\u2019t preclude the government from bringing prosecutions\u2014despite the language of the agreement saying otherwise. He has declined to elaborate on whom exactly the agreement covers. Its language appears to extend its legal protections to \u201crelated or affiliated individuals,\u201d which has sparked concern<\/u> among Democrats over whether companies tied to Trump and his sons could use it to evade government scrutiny. The unclear nature of what exactly the deal covers means any actual efforts to enforce it would likely have to be litigated in court and left up to a judge to determine whether or not the deal applies. <\/p>\n

What About The Anti-Weaponization Fund?<\/h2>\n

The other part of Trump\u2019s settlement with the IRS was the $1.776 billion \u201canti-weaponization fund\u201d dedicated to getting money to people who felt they\u2019d been victimized by the judicial system, including Jan. 6 rioters. Blanche previously told Congress<\/u> the fund was not moving forward after even Republican lawmakers expressed concerns about it, and reiterated that to the Senate Judiciary Committee in his written responses. \u201cThe Anti Weaponization Fund is dead,\u201d Blanche wrote. The acting attorney general has been criticized for not issuing a more official written document rescinding the deal or taking further steps to ensure it can\u2019t be revived, however, and has failed to clearly dismiss reports<\/u> suggesting the DOJ could find another way to get payouts to political allies, such as by establishing a different kind of fund or paying out individual settlement claims to people who challenge their prosecutions in court. In his written responses to senators, Blanche was asked whether he would issue a memorandum barring the government from paying out settlement claims to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement on Jan. 6. He responded only that \u201cevery claim\u201d would be \u201creviewed on the merits\u201d and handled through normal legal processes, and \u201cthe compromise and\/or settlement of any claim is made only in the best interest of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
