Summary
The immunity covers any potential tax crimes tied to returns Trump has filed up to now, shielding the president from federal tax exposure under the arrangement.
The protection surfaced alongside the administration’s announcement of a controversial legal fund that has also been described as popular with Jan. 6 rioters.
One expert called the tax immunity "a legal absurdity," underscoring the unusual breadth of a deal that appears to insulate a sitting president from prosecution over past filings.
