WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. government will permanently drop tax claims against President Donald Trump, according to a settlement document that is part of a deal to resolve Trump\u2019s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the settlement agreement, the U.S. is \u201cforever barred and precluded\u201d from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization\u2019s current tax issues, according to a one-page document posted to the Justice Department\u2019s website on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The settlement, which marks an extraordinary use of executive power, goes beyond resolving litigation and effectively helps shield the president from further examination of his finances and legal conduct.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The move comes after the Trump administration announced Monday the creation of a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies of the Republican president who believe they have been unjustly investigated and prosecuted, an arrangement that Democrats and government watchdogs derided as \u201ccorrupt\u201d and unconstitutional.<\/span><\/p>\n
