10:28Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover the gap between what Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche tells the Senate and what Trump's own lawyers are doing in court: Blanche says the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund and the IRS immunity deal are dead, while Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization are appealing to the Eleventh Circuit to revive the very settlement Blanche claims is gone. Brian traces the dispute to its real core, a New York Times-reported Chicago tower tax scheme that could expose Trump to roughly $100 million in back taxes, interest, and penalties, and explains why a federal judge already found the underlying settlement a sham: Trump effectively sued the IRS, an agency he oversees as president, meaning there was never a real adversarial controversy for a court to resolve. The judge sanctioned Trump's attorneys and referred one, Alejandro Brito, to the Florida Bar for discipline. Shant argues the fight over the fund's name is a distraction; even if Blanche kills it on paper, nothing stops him from reviving the IRS immunity piece the moment he's confirmed, and Congress has no realistic way to stop him. Brian's bottom line: watch what Trump's lawyers are fighting for in court, not what his attorney general tells the Senate.
