Acting Attorney General Lisa Blanche announced that a broad order protecting the former president and his family from audits will stay in effect. The order prevents any federal audit of the Trump

family’s financial records. The administration decided to eliminate a separate $1.8 billion fund that had been linked to audit activities. Officials said the removal of the fund does not alter the

protective order’s scope. The decision underscores the administration’s stance on limiting audit authority over the former president. Critics argue the shield reduces transparency and

accountability. Supporters contend it safeguards against politically motivated investigations. The order’s future will be watched as Congress considers related oversight measures.
