## Resource

Trump’s team pulled a major legal maneuver, ditching a $1.8 billion taxpayer fund meant to reimburse his supporters — a move even his own team found wild. Compounding the drama, his lawyers negotiated immunity from future lawsuits and tax audits in a $10 billion IRS settlement, potentially saving him $100 million. Critics question whether this bypasses constitutional spending rules. Now, former judges are challenging the IRS deal, and a Virginia court has paused the fund — both with hearings set for June 12. The legal battle is far from over, raising alarms about government money and potential abuse of power. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
