Ex-IRS chief: Trump tax settlement a 'dangerous precedent'

Season 2026 Episode 104 | 7m 57s

The Trump administration permanently banned the IRS from auditing the president's tax returns, and those of his sons, his company or any affiliated trust. That move was announced a day after the creation of a $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies of Trump who claim they were mistreated by the Biden Justice Department. Geoff Bennett discussed more with former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.
