Trump Sought Tax Audit Immunity for Family in Alleged Self-Settlement Scheme
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen
BOMBSHELL: Trump attorneys now facing DISBARMENT
What was said
"He said, 'Wait, I want more. I'm gonna settle with myself and I'm going to bestow upon myself immunity from ever being audited by the IRS and by extension ever being prosecuted by the IRS in the event an audit would disclose that you know I had committed some tax crimes. But not just me. I want to give that immunity to my family members and my businesses as well.'"
Beyond the $1.776 billion settlement Trump negotiated with himself, he also granted permanent immunity from IRS audits and potential tax prosecutions to himself, his family members, and his businesses. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner characterized this as an unprecedented level of self-dealing that would allow Trump to commit tax crimes with impunity.
