The Senate Finance Committee's Republican members have rejected a Democratic proposal to end former President Trump's immunity from IRS audits. The immunity was granted in a deal negotiated by Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche. The deal was part of a broader agreement that included funding for anti-weaponization efforts.

The rejection came after several companies affiliated with Trump distanced themselves from the deal. This move followed a Senate Democrats' probe into the agreement. The probe was initiated after concerns were raised about the potential misuse of the anti-weaponization fund.

The immunity remains in place. Blanche's assertion of Trump's tax audit immunity has not been challenged successfully. The New York Times and Politico have covered the story.
