The president's desire to avoid criminal prosecutions and tax audits has become the biggest impediment to getting his own attorney general pick confirmed.

Cornyn and another GOP holdout, Senator Thom Tillis, want written changes to alter Trump's settlement with the IRS over leaks of his tax information in 2019.

Blanche said he didn't know who at the Justice Department wrote the language providing immunity from tax audits, though he signed the agreement approving it.

The protection against probes of past tax filings was part of a settlement in which Trump agreed to drop a $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the IRS.

The Department of Justice will still provide immunity from any probes into the president's past tax filings under a deal agreed to last month.

U.S. officials are continuing with an agreement that bars the government from probing past tax filings from President Donald Trump and his businesses.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche wouldn't rule out the possibility that rioters who attacked police could receive payments from a $1.8 billion taxpayer fund.

The amount of the fund is set at $1.776 billion, an apparent reference to the year 1776 and the creation of the U.S.

President Biden's son had been scheduled to go on trial on June 20 on charges he failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019.

The alleged bookmaker is under criminal investigation by the IRS as well.

Biden's lawyers argue that all the charges should be dropped because their client has immunity under a deal he struck in July.

A political headache is mounting for the White House and Democrats as the 2024 campaign ramps up.

Lawmakers suggested investigators were hamstrung from bringing charges and questioned why the statute of limitations was allowed to expire without charges being brought.

The tax charges could be brought in Washington, D.C., or in California because that's where the crimes allegedly occurred.

The U.S. Attorney General has appointed a special counsel to oversee the ongoing criminal investigation into President Joe Biden's son over his taxes.

Lawyers and federal prosecutors came to an agreement during the hearing to limit the plea deal to apply to only tax crimes, drug offenses and a firearm violation between the years 2014 to 2019.

The task force will gather experts in sanctions and export control enforcement, asset forfeiture, money laundering, tax enforcement, and foreign evidence collection.

Attorney General William Barr said he sees no reason to appoint a special counsel to oversee an investigation of President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, a statement sure to frustrate President Donald Trump and his closest advisers.

The president-elect believes efforts to use his son as a political cudgel amounted to “foul play” amid a federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax matters and Republican calls for a special counsel investigation into his foreign dealings.
