Trump-IRS Deal Called ‘Political Slush Fund’ by Top Democrat

Representative Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has sharply criticized a potential settlement between Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Service. In a statement, Raskin called the deal “a political slush fund” and argued it is unconstitutional. He did not provide further details on the specific terms of the proposed settlement. The criticism adds to growing political debate over the former president’s tax matters.
