Blanche Calls $1.8 Billion Trump Fund Dead, Won't Put It In Writing
The Justice Department refused a judge's request that Blanche and Treasury Secretary Bessent swear to the fund's status.
- Blanche apologized to Epstein survivors for "mistakes" in the unredacted file release.
- The IRS settlement shields Trump and his adult sons from liability over past tax filings.
- Blanche called himself "the president's lawyer" before correcting to deputy attorney general.
Why it matters: A cabinet officer who calls a fund dead but refuses to swear to it is managing a rumor.
