The federal government will not proceed with a plan to establish a $1.8 billion fund intended to support Donald Trump's allies, according to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. During a House appropriations committee hearing on June 2, 2026, Blanche stated, "We are not moving forward with the fund, period." He also confirmed that an agreement remains in place to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from auditing Trump, his family, and related entities. This agreement, reached last month, includes continued immunity for Trump and his family regarding tax matters.
