Jimmy Kimmel, a late-night TV host, criticised a recent legal settlement between US President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Kimmel said the $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" supported by the agreement was a serious problem and damaged public trust. The settlement finishes a lawsuit over tax records and will give compensation and formal apologies to people who believe they were unfairly investigated in the past.

The "Anti-Weaponization Fund" will be managed by a five-person group, with four members appointed by the government. The deal means the IRS can never audit the tax returns of President Trump, his family, or his business for years before the settlement. However, future tax filings are not included in this agreement, according to the Justice Department.

This decision has received strong criticism from politicians and other groups. Many say it creates different rules for the president than for ordinary people and breaks traditional policies about tax checks. The situation now raises important questions about power and the independence of tax authorities in the United States.
