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

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declined to comment on Capitol Hill about a potential IRS settlement that could grant President Donald Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization immunity from future tax enforcement actions. This comes after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the end of the Trump administration’s “anti-weaponization” fund. The evasive responses from Treasury officials highlight the ongoing mystery surrounding the details of the settlement and its implications for future tax enforcement policies. This situation underscores the broader concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the transparency of government dealings.
