Republican senators start to question Trump's audit immunity deal

Senate Republicans helped thwart half of President Donald Trump's settlement with the IRS — his $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. Now they're starting to raise concerns about the other half of that deal: Trump's audit immunity.

Five GOP senators told Semafor that they have questions about last month's agreement by the Justice Department to shield Trump, his family, and his businesses from IRS audits or prosecution. Some of them said they outright oppose the audit protection.

The issue could affect the confirmation of Trump's attorney general nominee, Todd Blanche.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Blanche promised to get him a briefing on the deal during a recent private meeting ahead of his hearing next month in the Judiciary Committee, where Cornyn sits and Republicans' one-seat majority makes every vote pivotal.

They'll be back on their knees kissing his ass in no time.
