Treasury’s Bessent mum on Trump’s IRS immunity deal

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remained tight-lipped on Capitol Hill about the Trump administration's potential tax immunity deal with the IRS, following acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's announcement that the "anti-weaponization" fund was no longer in play. This evasiveness has fueled speculation about the fate of a broader IRS settlement that could grant President Trump and his associates protection from future tax enforcement actions. The issue's significance lies in the potential implications for transparency and accountability in government dealings, sparking debate over whether such immunity would undermine public trust and the rule of law.
