Treasury secretary dodges questions on whether Trump still has lifetime IRS audit immunity

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent avoided answering questions during a Senate hearing about whether President Donald Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization retain IRS audit immunity following a settlement. The Treasury and IRS are involved in ongoing litigation related to a dropped lawsuit over Trump's 2019 tax return leak. The Justice Department's 'anti-weaponization' fund, part of the settlement, has failed to launch.
