Plaintiffs who successfully blocked Donald Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” in court are asking a federal judge to strike down an IRS immunity deal that shields the president, his family and their businesses from tax investigations.
The lawsuit — brought by a former federal prosecutor and other ideological and political opponents of the Trump administration who were allegedly victims of federal government retaliation — was refiled Thursday after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche salvaged the president’s IRS deal in a protracted debate over his nomination as the nation’s top law enforcement official.
