But acting attorney general Todd Blanche said this week he’s not backing down from giving immunity to the president over his past taxes — despite the questions about why Trump would need immunity and whether a president can do this.
“This is a breathtaking abuse of the tax and legal system,” said Brandon DeBot with the independent Tax Law Center at New York University Law in a statement.
“Presidents don’t have the authority to immunize themselves from personal liability for not paying their taxes,” said Kimberly Wehle, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law. “So much of this is sending the message that there is no rule of law anymore, there are no restraints on the president, and the law is whatever Donald Trump says it is. And that’s a legal absurdity.”
