Main takeaway: Senator Elizabeth Warren released findings that 11 Trump-linked companies were covered by a tax settlement immunity clause; six companies denied participation and five refused to answer. The immunity, which bars federal prosecution for pre-settlement acts, prompted GOP senators to seek narrowing, delayed a Judiciary Committee vote and stalled DOJ nominee Branch, and Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee proposed repealing the immunity and banning similar IRS agreements with a sitting president, with a vote expected Thursday.
Foresight News 消息，据福布斯报道，参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦周三公布了针对 11 家特朗普及其家族关联公司的调查结果。其中 Kalshi、Polymarket、特朗普媒体与技术集团、 American Bitcoin、Powerus 和 Kaz Resources 六家回应称未参与、也不受该豁免协议约束，另外五家（特朗普集团、World Liberty Financial、1789 资本、未来产业基金会、Tag Air）则拒绝回应。该协议属特朗普与国税局和解协议的一部分，条款规定联邦政府「永远不得」就和解前行为起诉特朗普及「相关或附属」方。 因协议范围广受争议，共和党参议员科宁与蒂利斯要求司法部先收窄协议范围，原定周四的司法委员会投票已推迟，司法部长提名人布兰奇的确认因此受阻。此外，参议院财政委员会民主党人已提出修正案，拟废除该豁免协议并禁止国税局与在任总统及其关联方达成类似协议，预计周四表决。
