Trump II's "Just Us" Department announced a settlement of the President's case against the IRS for a contractor's releasing of his tax returns.
Trump is both the aggrieved and the decision maker. I find it odd that only the criminal cases the government had against him were dropped. His cases against the government were not ceased or put in abeyance.
Trump II pardoned all manner of financial fraudsters and Capital urinators/feces smearers. Those compensated by his "Just Us" department do not have to pay restitution to their victims. They can use it for a new burner phone, to pay their legal fees or for a weapon (the beauty of a federal pardon).
The fund will need to be managed. Might Trump associated Dominari or Yorkville get the nod? Will it be held in dollars or World Liberty stablecoins?
Surely, they wish to grow the corpus. Might Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners invest some of the funds? I bet Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are a hard sell for Jared at the moment.
The Guardian reported on the fund itself:
“Once the funds are deposited into the Designated Account, the United States has no liability whatsoever for the protection or safeguarding of those funds, regardless of bank failure, fraudulent transfers, or any other fraud or misuse of the funds,” according to a memo from Todd Blanche, the acting US attorney general.
That statement is darkly comedic given a Trump pardoned fraudster could fraudulently apply for and possibly fraudulently receive funds from the $1.7 billion fund. I see no audits in this fund's future.
Thank heaven Trump II settled with Trump I in an arm-arm-arm-arm's totaling agreement. Ethically, it's a four arm fire. But what do you expect from Trump? The guy defecates on everything, endlessly.
