DOJ says $1.8B fund could compensate 'targeted' Trump allies

Season 2026 Episode 102 | 4m 34s

The announcement came as part of a settlement with President Trump to drop a $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns in 2019. Justice correspondent Ali Rogin reports.
