SouthernWorldwide.com – Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has signed an order that prohibits the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from examining President Donald Trump’s past tax returns. The order also prevents the agency from pursuing any ongoing claims against Trump, his family, or his associated businesses.
This directive originates from a settlement agreement in the case of Trump v. Internal Revenue Service. The lawsuit was initially filed in the Southern District of Florida. The document, officially signed by Blanche on May 19, 2026, also outlines the establishment of what is termed an “Anti-Weaponization Fund.”
The settlement agreement explicitly directed the Attorney General to issue an order. This order is intended to establish the necessary funding and any other pertinent requirements for this newly created Fund.
According to the official document, the United States government “RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES” all claims connected to this particular case. Furthermore, the government is “FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED” from initiating any further actions related to these plaintiffs.

Reports from The Hill indicate that the settlement agreement strictly prohibits the IRS from investigating any tax returns filed prior to the settlement’s effective date. It also blocks any claims that involve Donald Trump, members of his family, or businesses affiliated with them. The Justice Department, as also reported by The Hill, has established a substantial “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” valued at $1.776 billion, which is directly linked to this settlement.
This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
