Jack Reed CALLS Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche An Obvious Abuse Of Power Over IRS Settlement [5bCk4UkQXHR]
Jack Reed CALLS Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche An Obvious Abuse Of Power Over IRS Settlement #breakingnews #senate #doj Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island questions Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche during the Senate Appropriations hearing on the Department of Justice fiscal year 2027 budget request. Reed establishes a structural chain on the official record. The 2020 Internal Revenue Service breach affected four hundred and five thousand taxpayers including Donald Trump, the contractor was hired under the Trump administration, and the resulting settlement is now controlled by a commission entirely appointed by the Acting Attorney General. Reed flags the Treasury General Counsel resignation on the day the order was signed, and calls the structure an obvious abuse of power. Reed then pivots to the Maxwell prison transfer that occurred shortly after Blanche personally interviewed her, and closes by telling the Acting Attorney General he has, in Reed's view, very little faith in the Constitution. ## Timestamps 00:00 Cold Open 00:44 IRS Breach 01:30 Trump Return 02:15 Commission Five 03:00 Charity Promise 04:00 Treasury Resignation 05:00 Abuse Power 05:45 January Sixth 06:30 Maxwell Transfer 07:00 Personal Interview 07:45 Robert Jay 15:00 Show Closing #politics #congress #trump #january6 #newstoday
