The US Department of Justice has issued a decision granting US President Donald Trump and members of his family permanent immunity preventing the review or reopening of their previous tax files. This step comes under a settlement agreement by which Trump agreed to withdraw a lawsuit claiming massive compensation due to the leaking of his financial returns. The settlement also includes the establishment of a compensation fund of approximately $1.8 billion for those affected by what was described as the politicization of the case. This agreement has sparked widespread controversy and sharp criticism within US political circles regarding its future legal and political repercussions.
