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

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remained tight-lipped about the details of President Donald Trump's IRS settlement, which would grant the president and his associates immunity from future tax enforcement actions. This comes after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declared the Trump administration’s "anti-weaponization" fund defunct. Bessent’s refusal to comment on Capitol Hill underscores the contentious nature of the deal, raising questions about transparency and the potential conflicts of interest it could create. This situation is significant as it pertains to the broader issue of presidential immunity and the separation of powers in government.
