The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS.
That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants.
This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

Analysis Summary
The DOJ is in discussions about settling Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit, with settlement terms reportedly including a waiver of any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses — confirmed by CNN, The New York Times, and other outlets. If the settlement includes both the $10 billion payment and audit waiver, it would represent a significant outcome from what Trump characterized as a violation of privacy when the IRS initially shared his tax information. Reich frames this as corruption; the underlying settlement negotiations and proposed audit waiver are real, though whether dropping audits constitutes corruption depends on whether the settlement terms are reasonable given the legal merits of Trump's lawsuit — a question the reporting does not fully address.

“The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS.”
Confirmed by CNN, NYT, Daily Beast, Independent — DOJ and White House officials are reviewing settlement terms that would drop IRS audits of Trump, family, and businesses.
“Trump wants $10 billion in damages.”
All five sources confirm Trump is seeking $10 billion in his IRS lawsuit filed in January 2026.
“This is corruption on steroids.”
Characterization of settlement negotiations as 'corruption' is opinion/analysis, not a factual claim. The underlying facts (settlement discussions, audit waiver) are verified.
