Justice Department Expands Trump IRS Tax Return Settlement
(MENAFN) The US Department of Justice has expanded a recent settlement involving legal claims brought by Donald Trump against the Internal Revenue Service over the alleged disclosure of his tax information, according to reports on Tuesday.
The updated agreement reportedly broadens earlier provisions and includes assurances that the IRS will not pursue further tax-related actions against Trump, his family members, or his business entities.
An earlier version of the settlement, announced on Monday, had already established a fund of nearly $1.8 billion described as intended to "compensate victims of alleged weaponization of law enforcement," though it did not initially address ongoing disputes related to Trump’s tax filings or audits.
However, a document later published on the Justice Department’s website added new language stating that the IRS is "forever barred and precluded" from pursuing "examinations" involving Trump, "related or affiliated individuals" and associated trusts and companies.
According to reports, the addendum was signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, while it did not include signatures from IRS representatives or attorneys directly linked to Trump’s legal team.
