Has Trump finally gone too far for Republicans?
May 24, 2026
LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks joins James O'Brien to discuss the latest from the US. It comes as Donald Trump has agreed a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service after suing over leaked tax returns from his first presidency. In exchange for dropping a $10bn claim, the Trump family and business will receive protections against further audits of existing tax returns. The federal government will also create a $1.776bn compensation fund for people claiming they were targeted by politically motivated investigations or prosecutions. Critics, including Democrats, have described the fund as a “slush fund”. Administration officials have declined to rule out claims from people charged over the January 6 Capitol attack.
