Trump’s Daylight Cash Grab: IRS Settlement Could Seed a $1.7B Slush Fund
Morning Shots argues that Trump’s imminent settlement with the IRS over leaked tax returns could hinge on funding a $1.7 billion pot to compensate allies who claim they were targeted by the Biden administration, a fund run by a commission that answers to Trump and with minimal disclosure. While Trump wouldn’t directly receive money, entities tied to him could file claims, making it a perceived graft that threatens public funds and oversight. The piece urges Congress to act, up to impeachment if warranted, and places the development in the broader context of Trump’s leadership and the post-summit foreign-policy dynamic.
