DOJ says Trump $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' fund is not moving forward

Chris Wagnon35

How the fuck is this Constitutional for any U.S. citizen? It sounds like a kid on the playground declaring my invincibility will last forever. No one should be above IRS scrutiny if they're a U.S. resident or citizen. If they have a problem with this they can get the fuck out of here.

Lemongrasshopper15

They all need to go to jail. No get out of jail free cards. They are a criminal organization & will be punished accordingly.

Kev - I love Bacon🥓. United We Stand!11

🤔I wonder why they want this so badly.

Millie, or Mills if we’re friends11

You don’t get to call it buddy. You lack the authority to grant immunity from the law. The silence of lawmakers is deafening

chichi6010

This is what should be investigated

frankriveramar1.bsky.social9

Tell me there are financial crimes happening without telling me… 🥴

Dr. Tea, Cake, & Revolution.9

Trump’s hoping to sneak that tax deal through without being made to answer for a fraud on the court.

Stella Blue7

What? Because he said so?

David Marshall6

Called it. Hate it, but I called it: bsky.app/profile/funm...

Trump/GOP corruption threatens the world6

Why does the fascist Trump family need tax immunity? Nothing like directing the future DOJ where to look for some of the crimes. Clawbacks and prison is the only way to stop GOP fascism.

Tonezib5

Can this go to court.

SandyPBW5

He also said that it’s not immunity. He thinks we’re all idiots.

rbus39337410.bsky.social4

He also said no one filed a claim.👇 bsky.app/profile/muel...

retired-n-happy.bsky.social4

We’ll see, the court’s not finished with that issue yet.

Just Kris4

Oh really? Under what authority? What law? What judgement? They fabricate tax immunity out of thin air and expect it to be so? He needs to be disbarred. F@CK this guy.

Grumpy Grandpa3

Paraphrasing Bannon “ Throw 20 things at em and they won’t know which to fight”

This We Will Defend3

The court may have a say on this. The settlement references the Trump v. IRS case as the reasoning for the immunity. The court has re-opened the case to question whether the DOJ (Blanche) and Trump committed fraud on the court by dropping the case WITHOUT a settlement, but then engaging in one.

⋆｡˚☆⋆🌊Kozmo Resists🌊⋆☆˚｡⋆3

Has anybody asked Blanche why Trump and his family deserve immunity for any tax violations?

Matt Leeds3

Failure Criminal & LIAR Blanche WIll Go To Prison! He Can’t Protect The FELON & His Criminal Children From Accountability For Committing Crimes. They Will Face Justice In The End. Blanche will get disbarred & go to prison with Bondi for his crimes. He will look good in his orange jumpsuit.

Chele Lea3

The names of the lawyers in in this criminal activity must be identified and disbarred. This is unethical, illegal and most assuredly well rewarded and pre pardoned, which is an entirely different crime.

Cap'm Kickass2

Like everything else the Trump family does, this will backfire in spectacular fashion. At the very least, there will be a Streisand effect causing interested parties to look into Eric and Don Jr's finances to see why immunity from IRS audits is sought.

frankriveramar1.bsky.social2

Trumps personal attorney pretending to be DOJ…

fetchinketch555.bsky.social2

Convenient that, huh????? Blanche is why there are so many lawyer jokes!!!

Schmidt Happens2

The money for it presumably now just deposited directly to Trump’s bank account.

Hunter2

He should be brought up on extortion charges. This is such BS

Dolorosa Santos2

We'll see if the judge agrees or not.

Jane2

Will someone please stop this s***! How much more do we have to put up with as citizens from this corrupt disgusting regime that is squatting in the people's House! Enough!! Blanche is crooked as f**king Trump and he needs to lose his law license ASAP.

Nina Amenta2

How can you pause a "settlement" but keep moving forward on an addendum to that "settlement"?

Patric Reynolds27

Right. Because we should just take liars and criminals at their word.

ilovepaul.bsky.social21

Part 2: Blanche confirms that he's in a shitload of ethical trouble which will probably end with him getting disbarred in NY and DC.

Liberal Donald J. Trump19

“Could we get that in writing?” BOOM. Suddenly the swagger turns into legalese. If the weaponization fund is really dead, put it on paper. Sign it. The panic around a written commitment is always the tell. Politicians, ESPECIALLY Rigpublicans, fear receipts more than voters. Sad!

Middlerage12

SIGN IT IN BLOOD BITCH! 😡

Sherry Krauss9

and not one member of congress should be so gullible as to believe a word that comes from his mouth

Jenai Huff8

HE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED AT ALL!!! Blanche is Trumps personal lawyer still and is also a liar.

Bensmom337

In which the acting attorney general admits he does not understand what "in writing" means.

David Seibert7

"You have my word." The proceedings were then halted because everyone in the room fell over, gasping, because they were laughing so hard.

Inbtwnthedarkandthelight6

He’s lying, he works for the felon. A transcript isnt law!

vet-ingenting.bsky.social6

As a lawyer, Blanche should be well aware of the need to put things in writing, that verbal statements are insufficient, especially given the history the Trump Regime has for brazen lying.

bossybootsy.bsky.social5

He's a fucking lawyer and he has a problem putting something in writing? Also, the most important part of this so called settlement was that it absolved Trump and his corrupt family of all outstanding IRS investigations now and forever.

Simulflow (Jerrified)4

"There will be a transcript" is not the same thing as having something in writing, you evil bastard

Frank Amari 4

DOJ 'not moving forward' with Trump anti-weaponization fund, Blanche says www.cnbc.com/2026/06/02/d...

Tomacracy4

An the attorney general (purposely no caps) downplaying the need for signed documents is on MAGA brand

retiredlibn123.bsky.social3

Meaning: we're looking for another way to do this by pulling the wool over your eyes (but maybe not quite so overtly next time).

Matt Leeds3

LOSER, Criminal & LIAR Blanche. He Keeps On Losing In Court For His Client the FELON. First Was The New York Case Where He Was Convicted on 34 Felony Counts, Then The E Jean Carol Case, Now This.👏🏻👏🏻 Blanche will get disbarred & go to prison for his crimes. He will look good in his orange jumpsuit.

Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop3

Not that his help was necessary, but that man gives the legal profession a really, really bad name. He is rude, a bully, and he lies as easy as he breaths. Just the kind of lawyer Trump wants.

design4planeta.bsky.social3

He correctly referred to it as a “wesponization fund”: they wanted to weaponize our tax money against us!

The Mighty Jungle💙💛2

watch them like a hawk

Stevie Z7

Translation: the checks are ready to go out the door.

Roxy5

what about the IRS piece??????

corieng70.bsky.social4

It will know be known as the Sundae Fund

Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺3

"Because Trump wants the money for himself."

apricity2

1. Blanche was not under oath. 2. Blanche said that he will NOT rescind his order in writing. So, Blanche and Trump will wait for the criticism to die down and they will go ahead with this later, probably after the midterms.

Dr Robin5

I hope judge Williams stops that corrupt “no IRS audits” order. \ Corrupt Todd Blanche needs to be disbarred.

Jason4

I applied for it last week. 😁

Bluebagger573

He didn’t say the quiet part out loud. ‘For now’.

BobtheRetired2

The funny thing about criminal conspiracies, and that’s all this fraudulent slush fund ever was, is that the crime is committed as soon as there’s an overt act, like a bogus settlement agreement, dismissing a meritless civil case, lying to the public and Congress . . . .

Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺10

Now it will just be the Trump Enrichment Fund.

Jessica Hughes6

What about his IRS immunity??

PatricktheReligiousStudiesLecturer5

What about the immunity part?

apricity4

1. Blanche was NOT under oath. 2. Blanche said that he will NOT rescind his orders in writing. So, Blanche and Trump will wait for the criticism to die down and they will go ahead with this later, probably after the midterms.

meigloo.bsky.social3

virtue signaling. They are still a bunch of cowards, opportunists and traitors

mrtoads.bsky.social2

“.. for now, anyway. Lord Donald will wait a few days until everybody forgets and then use a different name or something and establish it by Royal Decree, as is his divine right.”

ProudBlue💙4

“The Department of Justice and the IRS reached a sweeping settlement that permanently protects Donald Trump, his family, and his businesses from pending tax claims and audits. Signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche” Where does AG have the right to shield the entire CRIME SYNDICATE?

alvie22

Blanch is a fucking liar 🤥- the immunity and the never to be audited stand by this acting ass of an AG - this is horsehit !

Roxy2

EXCEPT THEY ARE- WITH RESPECT TO TRUMP, FAM, AND BUSINESS IMMUNITY!

Michael Washington3

Throw these guys in jail! Let me go in front of congress and try that sh%t.

VernBob2

Boy, that Blanche fella sure is slippery. Must be a lawyer. 😠

KaseyMcc2

He is telling us they won't have that fund that doesn't mean money and immunity is off the table

Dr Robin2

Nobody should believe a word that comes out of Blanche’s mouth.

Horo4

We are not moving ahead with this particular grift. Stand by for version 2.0.

roslynn.bsky.social3

for now. can’t trust them to keep their word.

paulaptb2

Don’t be too sure. bsky.app/profile/muel...

JQ3

Ban the fund in the package... Put it in writing.

margie2

it's kinda journalistic malpractice not to include the fact that he's keeping the part about him and his fam never having to be audited or investigated ever again, in their lives, ever, like never ever again, in the headline .... that might be the bigger story honestly

PhoenixWomanMN 5

But still trying to slip Trump all the money. And the Get Out of Audits Free card.

pmbraonain.bsky.social4

How can a crook like Trump or for that matter any American president be allowed to get perennial protection from tax audits. Should be categorically disallowed.

Hugo Edwin2

And what about the generations long tax exemption? (…sorry, non tax auditing)
