On May 19, 2026, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed a one-page addendum to a settlement of President Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, declaring the federal government "forever barred and precluded" from pursuing any existing tax audits of Trump, his sons, and their businesses. The unprecedented move — which shielded potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in disputed tax liabilities — drew immediate condemnation from former IRS officials, ethics watchdogs, and congressional Democrats, while the Treasury Department's own general counsel resigned on the day the settlement was announced.
