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 reportedly considering dropping IRS audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses as part of a settlement offer in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — a deal confirmed by multiple news outlets including the NYT and CNN. This would effectively shield Trump's finances from federal scrutiny in exchange for settling the suit, meaning taxpayers absorb the settlement cost while Trump avoids oversight. Reich frames this as corruption, but the core reporting is solid: multiple sources confirm the White House and DOJ are weighing this exact trade-off, and the political problem is real even if reasonable people disagree on whether it constitutes legal corruption.
Claims Analysis (3)
“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.”
NYT, CNN, Independent, Mediaite, and Daily Beast all confirm DOJ and White House officials are discussing IRS audit waiver as settlement option.
“Trump wants $10 billion in damages from the IRS.”
All sources confirm the $10 billion figure in Trump's lawsuit against the IRS.
“This is corruption on steroids.”
Evaluative judgment. The characterization of the settlement discussions as 'corruption' is political commentary, not a factual claim.
