President Trump received tax amnity protection for himself, his family, and businesses as part of a settlement after withdrawing a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, with a one-page document signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche barring the IRS from auditing or prosecuting Trump-related tax claims. The provision was revealed separately from a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund created in the same settlement, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers who called it corrupt self-dealing.

Has the settlement agreement been accepted by the court? If it hasn't, is it even legal?
