Donald Trump may have landed the biggest deal of his life.
In a controversial settlement which avoided a politically unpalatable transfer of Treasury funds into Trump's hands, the president and his family gained immunity from tax audits that could have cost $100 million, according to the New York Times.
The release from tax liability, authored by acting attorney Todd Blanche, who has served as Trump's personal attorney, came a day after the Department of Justice agreed to create a $1.8 billion fund which would benefit Trump's allies.
After political blowback, including from Republicans, Blanche said that the fund won't move forward, but continues to litigate lawsuits questioning its legality. Today, a judge in one of the lawsuits extended an indefinite block on the fund. But Trump's tax deal stood.
