#ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections. #Trump #law #criminal #theft #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #Jan6 #SlushFund

Ending his #IRS lawsuit could allow #Trump to pursue a #settlement instead [he’d likely lose the lawsuit, he might get $$ from a settlement]. Trump moved on Monday to dismiss his extraordinary $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS that claimed the tax agency had improperly released some of his financial records [records he had promised to release himself]. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/trump-irs-lawsuit.html?smid=url-share&smid=nytcore-ios-share&rsrc=cl-share

The move comes after the White House floated a proposal to end the lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.7 billion fund to compensate supporters of #Trump who felt they had been mistreated by Democratic admins [what?]. The #settlement would be agreed upon by Trump’s private lawyers & the #DOJ [Trump’s other private lawyers] without feedback from the #judge overseeing the case. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

The decision to dismiss the suit could also allow #Trump & the #DOJ to avoid a potentially embarrassing ruling from Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Southern District of Florida finding that Trump’s suit was invalid. #Judge Williams has considered dismissing Trump’s suit because he effectively controls both his personal lawyers bringing the complaint & the government lawyers who are supposed to respond to it. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

#Judge Williams had ordered the #DOJ, which has yet to make an appearance or filing in the case, & #Trump’s lawyers to brief her by Wednesday to explain whether they were actually in opposition — or were colluding to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome. [oh, they are definitely colluding] In their filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers said their dismissal meant that “no judicial analysis is appropriate” for the suit. [IOW no #oversight.] #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

The substance of Trump’s suit stems from the leak of his tax returns to The New York Times in 2019. #Trump, 2 of his sons & his family business argue that the #IRS should have done more to prevent a former contractor from leaking tax information to The Times & ProPublica. While federal #law allows for people to sue the IRS when their tax information is leaked, legal experts saw clear flaws in Trump’s suit…. #criminal #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #DOJ #kleptocracy

Judge says Trump must hand over financial records to BBC “All of President Trump’s brand, properties and businesses are impugned or said to have been impugned. Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case,” Lett said at the conclusion of a three-hour hearing. Her decision opened the door for the BBC to explore the finances of more than 400 companies owned by a Trump family trust, but Trump can appeal the ruling to U.S. District Court Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee. #lol #lawfare #MAGA #Trump #corruption #classwar #USPol #fascism #kleptocracy #oligarchy #bbc

Williams’ 56-page opinion blasted the behavior of both the #DOJ — stating that the admin’s response to the case disregarded DOJ policies & potentially the #law — & of the private attorneys who brought the lawsuit on #Trump’s behalf. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28468904-trump-v-irs-order/ #IRS #law #criminal #fraud #DOJ #JudicialProcess #theft #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #Jan6 #MAGASlushFund #SlushFund

"This action was never about a party seeking judicial resolution of a legal issue or a ⁠factual dispute," Williams wrote. The judge said it was instead an attempt to "provide some legitimacy to an agreement to ⁠confer #immunity to people & entities affiliated with the president & to earmark billions of dollars ⁠from American #taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the #law." #Trump #criminal #DOJ #JudicialProcess #theft #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #Jan6 #SlushFund

The New Republic | Kleptocracy Is Trump’s Most Lucrative Business Venture by Timothy Noah AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article argues that Donald Trump’s presidency has become his most profitable venture, turning the office into a “rentier” enterprise that generates billions without traditional labor. According to his 2025 financial disclosure, Trump earned over $2.2 billion, largely from crypto‑related deals and a 60 percent stake in World Liberty Financial, despite those ventures losing money for other investors. The piece compares his earnings to top CEOs, noting that only Elon Musk’s Tesla compensation surpassed Trump’s haul. It describes how Trump’s family acquired stakes in crypto firms and Trump Media without paying for them, profiting from settlements and pardons tied to his political influence. The author contends that the president’s ability to monetize policy, extract “protection money,” and leverage foreign deals—such as the United Arab Emirates’ investment in World Liberty—illustrates a new, lucrative form of political kleptocracy that dramatically inflated Trump’s net worth from $2.6 billion in 2024 to $6.5 billion by early 2026.
