America's favorite rape victim-defaming lard-assed Grampy is HOLDING ON TO HIS "IMMUNITY FROM IRS" deal [View all]
On Monday, the Justice Department said it would abide by the court order temporarily halting the creation of the $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded fund to pay out those who claimed to have been politically targeted.
The White House referred any questions about the deal to the president’s personal legal team and the Justice Department. A spokesman for the legal team indicated the agreement blocking the president from future tax audits was going forward.
The spokesman blasted the IRS and said it “wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people.
“President Trump continues to hold those who wrong America and Americans accountable,” the spokesman added.
