Doggett asked Bessent one simple question. Has the IRS ever granted audit immunity to any taxpayer in history? Bessent said he was unable to answer. Doggett said it clearly. You can answer it. You refuse to answer. Trump sued the American people for $10 billion then walked away with a permanent audit immunity deal signed by his own former criminal defense attorney now serving as acting attorney general. The Treasury's own General Counsel resigned rather than sign off on it. IRS career employees wrote a 25-page memo asking DOJ to halt the deal. At the end Bessent agreed the president was being treated like no other American has ever been treated. Doggett finished the sentence for him.
