On Tuesday, the US Department of Justice quietly published an additional filing related to the settlement between US President Donald Trump and the IRS.
The one-page document appeared a day after officials disclosed a separate nine-page agreement tied to Trump’s $10 billion (€8.6bn) lawsuit, filed against the federal agency in January over the leaking of his tax returns.
According to the filing, the IRS is "forever barred and precluded" from "prosecuting or pursuing any and all claims [...] appeals [...] examinations [...]" of the US president, "related or affiliated individuals," and associated trusts and businesses.
The waiver applies to all tax returns submitted before the settlement officially took effect on Monday.
The addendum, dated Tuesday, was signed by Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche. The document does not include signatures from IRS officials or lawyers currently representing Trump.
