President Trump dropped his IRS lawsuit after they agreed to create a $1.776 billion fund … which will be distributed by a panel of people Trump manages. President Trump and the Justice Department reached a $1.7 billion settlement in the president's lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department over the leak of his tax returns, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Monday. The Justice Department said that Mr. Trump and the other plaintiffs in the suit — two of his sons and the Trump Organization — will receive a formal apology but "no monetary payment or damages of any kind." Instead, a $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" will be created at Blanche's direction to "provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare." The announcement came hours after court filings indicated a settlement had been reached. Mr. Trump had accused the agencies of unlawfully allowing a government contractor to leak
