President Donald Trump received a historic victory in the battle against the weaponized investigations into him and his family.

Trump won a high-profile settlement resolving the Trump family’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the leak of his tax returns.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Tuesday that as part of the settlement agreement in President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, the federal government is permanently barred from investigating or prosecuting any claims, appeals, examinations, or reviews related to tax returns filed by Trump, his family members, related or affiliated individuals, the Trump Organization, affiliated companies, and associated trusts.

The agreement is specifically tied to tax returns filed before the settlement’s effective date, May 19. This covers both known or ongoing audits and unknown or future issues discovered in those old returns.
