He still believes that Trump \u2014 rather than the United States \u2014 is his client.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, the Senate should insist, as a condition of confirming Blanche, that the May 19 deal Blanche devised to immunize Trump and his family from all future prosecutions \u2014 which Blanche alone signed \u2014 be nullified. <\/p>\n<p>The purpose of that immunity deal \u2014 which resulted from Trump\u2019s own bizarre lawsuit against the IRS \u2014 should by now be clear. It\u2019s to prevent any future government inquiry into the corrupt dealings of Trump and his family. <\/p>\n<p>The breadth of the so-called \u201csettlement\u201d agreement between Trump and, well, Trump is staggering. Take a look at it, here.<\/p>\n<p>Boiled down to its bare essentials, the deal \u201c<em>forever<\/em>\u201d protects Trump and his family from \u201c<em>all claims<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>causes of action<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>requests for any relief<\/em>\u201d including \u201c<em>examinations<\/em>\u201d that \u201c<em>could have been<\/em>\u201dasserted by the United States against Trump, his children, \u201c<em>or affiliated individuals<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>parties<\/em>\u201d which arise out of \u201c<em>any matters<\/em>\u201d or of \u201c<em>Lawfare and\/or Weaponization<\/em>\u201d or of any matters that \u201c<em>could be pending<\/em>\u201d before the United States or its agencies and departments. <\/p>\n<p>Put another way, the U.S. government is prohibited from looking into any of the corrupt s&#8212; Trump or his family have gotten into. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=2367\">Revealed: Trump\u2019s Board of Peace plots \u2018sweeping immunity\u2019 for members<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a <em>lot <\/em>of corrupt s&#8212;. <\/p>\n<p>Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Since being in office for a second time, he\u2019s so far increased his wealth by an estimated $4 billion, and his sons\u2019 and daughters\u2019 wealth by billions more. Some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trump and his family have created multiple crypto businesses \u2014 World Liberty Financial and the $TRUMP meme coin \u2014 that have received favorable deregulatory treatment and reportedly generated at least $2.3 billion in income for Trump and his family since he won the presidency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Six days after a company backed by Eric and Donald Jr. took a 20 percent stake in an American mining group, the group\u2019s parent company received $1.6 billion in federal financing. That\u2019s because the president of Kazakhstan granted the company the right to mine the world\u2019s largest known undeveloped deposit of tungsten, an element used in semiconductors, lightbulbs, and warheads. <\/li>\n<li>In late 2025, Don Jr.\u2019s firm 1789 Capital acquired an equity stake in critical minerals company Vulcan Elements. Shortly after, the White House and the Pentagon awarded Vulcan a $620 million federal loan without competitive procurement or independent technical review. <\/li>\n<li>After Eric and Don Jr. backed the drone manufacturer Powerus, the U.S. Air Force awarded the company a lucrative contract. <\/li>\n<li>Eric and Don Jr. have conducted numerous undisclosed meetings with foreign government officials (including representatives from Hungary, the UK, Vietnam, and Qatar) while simultaneously negotiating global real estate deals for the Trump Organization. <\/li>\n<li>Don Jr. serves as a strategic advisor or investor in prediction market firms Kalshi and Polymarket, which have received favorable, deregulatory treatment from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).<\/li>\n<li>Don Jr. is on the board of prescription drug platform BlinkRX, which will benefit from the administration\u2019s promotion of direct-to-patient medicine sales. <\/li>\n<li>Presumably, someone has made a fortune trading stocks and bonds on the basis of insider knowledge of decisions that Trump would announce \u2014 about tariffs, his war in Iran, and other news that moved stock and bond markets. The trades occurred just before the announcements. <\/li>\n<li>In May, Trump disclosed that his trust was actively trading individual stocks, an unprecedented practice for a sitting U.S. president in the modern era.<\/li>\n<li>Trump has pardoned some of the most brazen financial criminals in American history, and one can only wonder what he received in return. They include Philip Esformes, convicted in what Trump\u2019s own Department of Justice described as the \u201clargest health care fraud scheme ever charged\u201d; Joseph Schwartz, convicted for a $38 million fraud scheme; and reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, convicted for multimillion-dollar bank fraud. He\u2019s granted clemency to Lawrence Duran after a $205 million fraud conviction. He commuted Jason Galanis\u2019s sentence and pardoned Devon Archer, both tied to tens of millions in fraud. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the \u201csettlement\u201d remains in force, we will never know the details of any of these transactions, because the \u201csettlement\u201d \u2014 devised and signed by Todd Blanche \u2014 will result in the largest cover-up of presidential wrongdoing and illegality in American history. <\/p>\n<p>Without it, Trump and his family could be required to disgorge their ill-gotten gains. <\/p>\n<p>For his role in this scam, Blanche should not be confirmed as attorney general. At the very least, his confirmation should be conditioned on this so-called \u201csettlement\u201d being deemed null and void.<\/p>\n<p><em>Robert Reich is a professor of public policy at Berkeley and former secretary of labor.
