No court issued a ruling before June 30, 2026, finding that the grant of IRS audit immunity to President Trump and his family was unlawful, resolving the question in the negative. The Department of Justice settled a Trump-filed lawsuit in May 2026 in a manner that included an extraordinary order permanently shielding the Trump family and business from current and future tax audits. Attorney General Todd Blanche's office described the provision as making the Trumps "forever barred and precluded" from prosecution or audit. Legal challenges mounted in June: U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema temporarily blocked the separate $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund tied to the settlement, and Judge Kathleen Williams reopened the original case after 35 former federal judges filed a motion alleging the settlement was a fraud on the court. However, neither proceeding produced a ruling on the legality of the immunity provision itself before the deadline. Litigation over both the fund and the underlying immunity is expected to continue well into the fall. The community narrowly expected a court ruling, with 55 percent predicting yes.
