President Trump's tax audit immunity remains in place despite negotiations with Republican senators whose support he needs to be confirmed as attorney general, according to a formal rescission of a $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate him for potential tax liabilities. The move was made by Todd Blanche, the White House counsel, in an effort to secure Trump's confirmation as attorney general. The rescinded fund would have covered potential tax audits and settlements related to Trump's financial dealings. The development has raised questions about Trump's compliance with transparency laws.
