Trump & attorney general caught in EXPLOSIVE new coverup | Another Day
Trump shields himself and his family. from IRS audits, but not to worry, he. probably wasn't hiding anything anyway. This is just another day. Recently was announced that the Trump. administration was dropping their. efforts to create a $1.8 billion slush. fund that would have compensated January. 6th insurrectionists and other. like-minded patriots. And while those. people sadly may no longer be getting. paid out, some other folks thankfully. still are. >> Blanche revealed one part of that. settlement will remain in place. The one.
providing Trump, his family, and. businesses immunity from current and. pending IRS audits. Blanche personally. signed the document providing those. audit protections. >> Well, thank God he didn't use an auto. pen to sign it or this could have been. perceived as incredibly corrupt. Yes, yesterday Todd Blanche was kind enough. to take the president's penis out of his. mouth for a few hours so he could. explain to Congress how shielding Trump. and his entire family from tax return. audits is in no way an act of pure.
unadulterated grift. >> What I said today, what I've said a. couple times today, as what we talked. about yesterday, is we're not moving. forward with the anti-weaponization um. fund. >> Okay, but you are moving forward with. this second order. >> moving forward. There's a settlement. There's a settlement that the IRS. entered into with President Trump and. others, his family, and his companies. As part of that settlement, as is. customary in IRS settlements, um there's a separate AG order. You. know, >> there has never been a more fitting.
title for Todd Blanche than acting. attorney general because that man is. putting on one terrible performance as. not Donald Trump's personal lawyer. This. is the guy who is supposed to be running. the entire Department of Justice, but. instead, he's running cover for his. former client. And in case Mr. Blanche's. circuitous legalese is giving you a case. of the spins, as is his goal, let's. clarify what's really going on here. >> Just take a hypothetical, if the. president did commit a tax crime in the. past,
um, this would then prevent the IRS now. from investigating that. >> Uh, I'm sorry. Did you say hypothetically if. he committed a tax crime? >> A New York jury has found the Trump. Organization guilty of 17 counts of. criminal tax fraud. >> A New York judge just ruled in the civil. fraud case that Trump is liable of. falsifying business records, conspiracy, and issuing false financial statements, among other claims. Now, Trump and the.
Trump Organization is now expected to. repay more than 354. million dollars. >> Cheating on taxes is the crime Donald. Trump is guiltiest of, and that's saying. a lot. So, I think we dispense with the. term hypothetically here and save it for. more apt scenarios, as in, let's pretend. hypothetically that Donald Trump had a. completely appropriate relationship with. his daughter. See? That's where that. term would be more fitting, hypothetically. But, maybe it's just me. Isn't immunity.
from audit a bit of a tell? I mean, if I. asked all of a sudden for immunity from. murder charges, I think people would. start asking a few questions. And that would be a big mistake. Anyway, this is just another example of. Donald Trump's grand theft oval, because. while it didn't take him very long to. relent on his slush fund that would have. enriched everyone else, he is not. budging an inch on the issue of. enriching himself and his family. And. when it comes to politicians committing. fraud, I seem to recall someone taking great.
issue with that. >> This is money coming from the federal. government. It's your tax dollars. It's. my tax dollars. The only way we can hold. them accountable is by putting them in. jail. At some point, politicians have to. be held accountable. >> Wow, bold words I think we can all get. behind. It's just such a shame that Todd. Blanche suffers from far-sided. corruption, where it's impossible to see. those instances up close, but far away? >> It does not matter if you're a. politician or if you're a fraudster from. Somalia, we cannot tolerate it. And and. Governor Walz is a great example.
>> That's right. I mean, I couldn't even. think of a better example if I tried. Now, a big point of contention in Donald. Trump's not audit is the price tag. associated with it, which the New York. Times reports could possibly amount to. $100 million dollars, a number Mr. Blanche was happy to address. >> Now, the president is not getting any. money from this settlement, right? >> Right. >> Now, the New York Times has reported. that he could have potentially owed up. to maybe $100 million dollars because of. those ongoing audits. So, are you saying.
this was not an effort to help him avoid. financial liability? >> I mean, I've seen that. The New York. Times is self-reporting. They're saying, "Oh, we said in some report that he. might he might have to owe $100 million. dollars." There's no That's not true. >> Huh. You know, I'm just so torn with who. to believe because on one hand, there is. a highly reputable news organization, but on the other hand, there's Donald. Trump's former personal defense. attorney. Gosh, I hate this. It's like when I.
can't decide what to eat. Do I want to. go for something a little bit higher end. and maybe feel a little bit full. afterwards, or do I want to shove my. hand in a blender? But let's say Todd Blanche is even half. right. He isn't. But let's say that. Donald Trump and his family, his sons, were actually relieved of having to pay. the government only $50 million dollars. That makes it better? I know in Trump. land that only amounts to a few golden. relics for his office mantle, but that. money could be pretty useful to a fair. amount of other folks. And at a time.
when Americans are buried under the. weight of high gas prices, unaffordable. housing, and mountains of healthcare. debt, this president is ordering his. head of the DOJ to move heaven and earth. to prevent him from having to pay a dime. to the federal government. Or to look at. it another way, >> Look, my job is to do the right thing. It's to do the right thing no matter who. is on the other side and the fact that. it was President Trump and and his sons. and and his company played no role in my. decision except to do the right thing. >> That's right. Todd Blanche has no.
allegiance to any one client except Lady. Justice herself. >> If he chooses to nominate somebody else. and asks me to go do something else, I. will say thank you very much. I love. you, sir. >> Yep, completely normal behavior. The reality is Donald Trump can't stop. himself from defrauding the American. people and enriching himself. It is. practically his addiction. That and. wanting to NFL quarterbacks. >> I wish I looked just like Jackson. He's. This is the guy I said, is he a male. model or what? >> At least his attention is off of Ivanka.
for a change. All this man does is find different ways. to add zeros to his and his family's. bank accounts. Corrupt stock trades, exploitative branding deals, clandestine. crypto dinners, and those are the ones. that are easy for people to wrap their. heads around. >> Last year, the Pentagon announced it. would give a $620 million loan to Vulcan. Elements. >> Now, this company, Vulcan, is considered a rare earths firm. Estimates of its valuation. went up a lot after the deal was. announced by some estimates,
tenfold. All of that could benefit Donald Trump. Jr.'s venture capital firm, which has. allegedly some kind of stake in the. company. And as for those details, well, they they could release them and we'd. tell you exactly what the documents are, but as of this time, a lot of this is. shrouded in secrecy. >> That's right. Vulcan Elements, the. appropriately evil-sounding company. which Don Jr. has a stake in, just. happened to get $700 million in. contracts with the Pentagon. And.
according to reporting by ProPublica, the request to lend to the firm was made. by Peter Navarro, who serves as the. president's senior counselor for trade. And I imagine these two are complete. strangers, right? >> Well, Peter, as always, thank you very. much for what you're doing in there. Thank you for what you've, you know, done to yourself and to your family. standing up for us. Guys, make sure to. check out I went to prison so you won't. have to by senior counsel for trade. Peter Navarro. He's just a great friend, a great. patriot, great American. Peter, thanks.
very much. I look forward to seeing you. again soon, buddy. >> Thanks my brother for for being there in. in my hardest hardest of times. When my. back was against the wall, you had my back, brother. Uh. >> It's my honor, my friend. Thank you. >> I got to say, technology is getting. better by the day because even though. those two weren't in the same room, it. still felt like they were up each. other's asses. If Donald Trump is. skilled at one thing, it is finding a. hundred million different ways to profit. off of everyone else. And a president.
engaged in this level of massive. corruption would be bad enough onto. itself, but Trump is filling his pockets. with taxpayer cash at a time when. Americans are suffering as a result of. his failed policies. This is Marie. Antoinette on steroids or whatever Don. Jr. takes to make his boobs look like. that. This president is happy to take. away your health care and your food. assistance, has no issue with letting. your roads crumble and your bridges. fall, sees no problem shuttering your. schools and hospitals so long as he. continues to profit.
>> That's not true. >> Sorry, I meant hypothetically. Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly, how we should. finally wield power if we're fortunate.
enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo.
