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

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remained tight-lipped about the implications of a proposed IRS settlement concerning President Donald Trump's tax enforcement immunity, despite acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's comments on the demise of an "anti-weaponization" fund. This silence fuels speculation about the extent of protection Trump and his associates might receive from future tax investigations. The issue matters because it touches on transparency and accountability in government dealings, raising questions about the influence of powerful figures over regulatory processes.
