I didn’t see this anywhere else in P&E so here it is. Basically, it says that Trump, his family and his businesses cannot be investigated, audited, or sued by the United States government in the future. Signed by Blanche. This can’t be legal, right?

It might be legal, but is it binding?

The answer is no. A future President at least could supercede it.

I should have dug a little deeper before posting. Its the document that talks about things happening prior to May 2026, Nothing new here. Mods- close or remove, if appropriate.
