US Justice Dept 'forever' bars IRS from auditing Trump's past tax returns

US Justice Department has "forever barred" the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from pursuing audits tied to past tax claims of President Donald Trump, his relatives and his firms. This comes after Trump's decision to drop a $10 billion lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns. The settlement also included a nearly $1.8 billion fund addressing alleged political "weaponisation".
