Sen. Jack Reed questioned Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche about Trump's IRS settlement, exposing that 405,427 taxpayers were affected by a 2020 data breach but only Trump is getting money through a settlement negotiated between his personal lawyers and his own Justice Department, with funds to be distributed by commissioners Blanche will appoint despite Trump's public promise to donate to charity, while refusing to guarantee none will go to January 6th rioters, as Treasury's General Counsel mysteriously resigned the exact day certification was required, prompting Reed to call Blanche "the president's consigliere" after revealing he visited Ghislaine Maxwell in prison shortly before her transfer to a more comfortable facility.

⚖️ THE KEY FACTS:

THE BREACH:

2020 IRS contractor leaked 405,427 tax returns
Happened under Trump's administration
Trump was one of the victims
WHO GOT REIMBURSED:

405,427 victims: $0
Donald Trump: Settlement (amount undisclosed)
THE SETTLEMENT:

Trump sued his own government
His lawyers negotiated with his Justice Department
His Acting AG signed off on it
His appointees will distribute the money
🔴 THE CHARITY LIE:

TRUMP'S PROMISE (January 30):
"I think what we'll do is something for charity, where I'll give the money to charity. I'm talking about the American Cancer Society. I would say established and respected charities."

ACTUAL SETTLEMENT:
No charity requirement whatsoever. Money goes to a commission of 5 people appointed by the Attorney General.

REED: "Will you fulfill the president's wish that it goes to respected charities?"

BLANCHE: "I'm aware that he said that, but that's not ultimately what the settlement calls for."

📋 THE SLUSH FUND:

REED: "Who will direct the disposition of the money?"

BLANCHE: "There'll be a commission of five individuals. They will decide."

REED: "Who will name the commissioners?"

BLANCHE: "I will. The attorney general."

Translation: Trump's Acting Attorney General appoints commissioners who decide who gets Trump's settlement money.

⚠️ JANUARY 6TH MONEY:

REED: "Will you ensure that none of this money goes to anyone convicted on the January 6th attack on the Congress?"

BLANCHE: "Well, the commissioners will determine who is eligible to receive the money."

REED: "Who are the commissioners?"

BLANCHE: "They're not named yet."

Blanche refused to guarantee no money goes to January 6th rioters.

🔥 TREASURY RESIGNATION:

REED: "Is it a coincidence that the General Counsel of the Department of Treasury resigned yesterday?"

The timeline:

Settlement requires Treasury Secretary certification
Court orders payment if Treasury certifies
Same day: Treasury's General Counsel resigns
Blanche: "I don't know if it's a coincidence."
REED: "Have you looked, checked?"

BLANCHE: "I've not."

Senate-confirmed lawyer quits on certification day. Acting AG hasn't checked why.

💣 GHISLAINE MAXWELL:

REED: "You had an opportunity to go down and talk to Ghislaine Maxwell. And then a few days later she was transferred from a high security prison to a very comfortable [facility]."

What Maxwell got after Blanche's visit:

Her own room
Private shower
Pet therapy
BLANCHE: "I don't know if any of that is true."

REED: "It is true and you should know it. This is a person of extra special interest to the President of the United States. He's known her. Why did he send you down to talk to her?"

🗳️ REED'S VERDICT:

"This whole hearing, I think, is exposing something, which is, to me, very frightening. You're a very gifted lawyer. But, from my perspective, you have very little faith to the Constitution and the people of America, and you're the president's consigliere."

BLANCHE: "Your perspective is completely wrong, Senator."

REED: "The facts will prove me right."
