Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche gave details on May 19 about the implementation of a settlement fund stemming from President Donald Trump’s $10 billion suit against the IRS.

$1.776 billion is being set aside after Trump sued the federal government following the unlawful leaking of his tax returns. The president had previously indicated the money would be donated to charity, but later decided to direct it toward reimbursing individuals who have been unjustly pursued by the federal government.
