TL;DR

Under a DOJ settlement with Donald Trump over leaked tax returns, a one‑page addendum permanently bars the IRS from pursuing audits of Trump, his family, and their businesses for filings made before May 19, 2026, and the DOJ says it applies only to existing audits, not future ones; critics say the move illegally interferes with IRS investigations, while the deal also creates a $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund that has drawn political backlash.
