In his remarks, he said in part: “My friend, Mr. (Joe) Wilson (of South Carolina) made some remarks about how everybody benefitted from the Big Beautiful Bill. What he didn’t tell you was President Trump made a deal with himself when he sued the IRS for a billion dollars for releasing his tax returns along with (those of) thousands and thousands and thousands of other Americans. He settled the case with himself and the man he wants to make Attorney General with a clause, an agreement, that the IRS would not prosecute, or even look at, his tax returns, his family’s tax returns or any businesses they’re involved with. That means the $2.2 billion they made this year off of crypto and other questionable companies will be tax free. That means he’s stealing from you and me – the American public…Our country’s in trouble. We have a man who is out of control as our president, and it scares me tremendously and it should scare you as well.” See his entire remarks here. # # # | 1 | 2026-07-15T07:12:08Z | 2026-07-15T07:13:45Z |
