Jack Reed EXPOSES Todd Blanche’s Trump “Slush Fund” In Brutal Senate Clash!!!

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]The order that you signed yesterday states that the government pay the settlement if the Secretary of Treasury has certified the payment. Is that correct? Correct. Uh is it a coincidence that the General Counsel Department of Treasury resigned yesterday?

[00:00:16]I I don't know if it's a coincidence.

[00:00:17]>> Have you looked or checked? Have I checked?

[00:00:20]>> Yeah. I have not.

[00:00:22]As to why he resigned? Jack Reed just destroyed Todd Blanche over Trump's IRS settlement corruption. 400,000 taxpayers had returns leaked in 2020 IRS breach.

[00:00:34]One was Donald Trump. Zero have received reimbursement including Trump. So Trump negotiated a settlement with his own IRS appointees. He's the plaintiff. His lawyers represent him. His appointees represent the government. Trump said January 30th the money would go to charity, American Cancer Society. The settlement doesn't call for charity. And January 6th attackers, Blanche won't commit they're ineligible. Treasury General Counsel resigned the exact day Treasury was required to certify these payments. Then there's Maxwell. Blanche personally visited her in prison.

[00:01:09]Shortly after moved to cushier facility.

[00:01:12]Reed's verdict, you're a very gifted lawyer but you're the president's conciliari with very little faith to the Constitution. Watch this. If you want to support the channel and get exclusive videos, kindly hit the join button below. That's how we keep this going.

[00:01:27]Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Uh Mr. Blanche, how many taxpayers returns were leaked in by the IRS contractor in the 2020 breach? Um how many taxpayers, excuse me? How many taxpayers returns were leaked by the IRS contractor in the 2020 breach? I don't know the exact amount but a lot. Uh 400 and 5,427.

[00:01:50]One of them was Donald Trump.

[00:01:53]Correct? Uh one of them was Donald Trump, correct?

[00:01:56]>> It's >> Donald Trump and family were others, correct? Right. And Donald Trump was president at the time.

[00:02:02]Correct.

[00:02:03]So, it was his IRS department that allowed this breach of privacy, correct?

[00:02:09]It was a criminal who worked in the IRS, yes.

[00:02:13]Well, he was hired under Trump's admit.

[00:02:15]This is one of the Trump Well, there was a criminal breach that led to this, yes.

[00:02:20]Very good. Uh How many of these 400,000 people have received any monetary reimbursement for the breach? I don't think any have, including the president. No, they haven't. But, you've authorized the president to agree the president should have uh reimbursement, correct?

[00:02:38]No, we settled the case. No, there's no reimbursement to President Trump.

[00:02:42]Well, that's interesting.

[00:02:45]>> but So, President Trump, you're going to assure us President Trump and his family will get no proceeds from this. Correct.

[00:02:52]He will not. He will not get. His family will not get. Correct.

[00:02:56]And who will direct the disposition of these who gets the the money? From the from the victims fund, will there be a commission of five individuals that will be set up, and they will take in requests and claims and decide whether to do anything from issuing a policy.

[00:03:12]>> Who will name the commissioners? I will.

[00:03:14]The Attorney General, whoever the Attorney General is. The Attorney General. Okay.

[00:03:18]Sorry, just to correct, and one of them will be done in consultation with leadership of this body.

[00:03:23]Consultation. That's good. But, uh When he first announced this uh suit on January 30th, he said, "I think what we'll do is something for charity, where I'll give the money to charity. I'm talking about the American Cancer Society. I would say established and respected charities.

[00:03:43]Uh will you fulfill the president's wish that it goes to respected charities?

[00:03:48]I'm aware that he put that in or said that, but that's not ultimately what the settlement calls for. Well, the settlement was negotiated between his lawyers and the Department of Justice, correct?

[00:03:59]>> Correct. So, his lawyers did not urge that they adopt the president's vision of giving it to a respectable charity? I am confident his lawyers urged the president's desires. Obviously, there's not a a charity.

[00:04:13]Um the order that you signed yesterday states that the government pay the settlement if the Secretary of Treasury has certified the payment. Is that correct? Correct. Uh is it a coincidence that the General Counsel of the Department of Treasury resigned yesterday?

[00:04:33]I don't know if it's a coincidence.

[00:04:35]>> Yeah. Have you looked or checked? Have I checked?

[00:04:38]>> Yeah. I've not.

[00:04:40]As to why he resigned?

[00:04:41]It just seems to me very coincidental that a high-ranking member of the Department of Treasury, Senate confirmed, would resign the day that the Treasury Department was required to required essentially to certify these payments.

[00:04:56]Well, I believe the IRS signed the settlement agreement as well. But yes, but I I I I I I don't I can't speak to why he resigned, Senator. Well, um this all seems uh to be an obvious uh abuse of power by the Department of Justice, by the president. He negotiated essentially himself.

[00:05:21]You're his appointee. The IRS are his appointees. He's the plaintiff.

[00:05:27]And the American people, I don't think are surprised that suddenly all this money is going to his friends or people that he in his orbit. Uh will you ensure that none of this money goes to anyone convicted on the January 6th attack on the Congress?

[00:05:43]Well, the commissioners will determine who is eligible to receive the money.

[00:05:47]Who will get Who will Who are the commissioners? They're not named yet.

[00:05:51]Who will name them?

[00:05:52]I will. Or the Attorney General will.

[00:05:54]It's not me. So, uh with the suggestion of the president of the United States, Excuse me? with the suggestion of American of the president of the United States, your boss.

[00:06:02]>> I do not make suggestions. I will appoint commissioners.

[00:06:05]>> He will make suggestions to you. I had I I have no idea if he will or not.

[00:06:10]>> [clears throat] >> I I really don't. I have no idea if he will or not.

[00:06:13]Uh I'm I would be shocked if [clears throat] he didn't tell you exactly who to put on, and I'd be more shocked if you did not put them on.

[00:06:22]This is uh a travesty of the law in the United States and the Constitution. Uh you had an opportunity to go down and talk to Ghislaine Maxwell.

[00:06:36]And then, a few days later, she was transferred from a high-security prison to a um very comfortable I mean, that's very comfortable >> It's just not true. She was not in a high-security prison. She was transferred from a low-security prison to a low-security prison. I mean, you're looking at me like that's That's verifiable.

[00:06:55]>> [snorts] >> Well, uh I don't think at the other prison she had her own room. She had access to a private shower. She could have pet therapy.

[00:07:06]And I don't know if any of that is true.

[00:07:08]I'm not disagreeing with you. I just don't >> I It is true, and you should know it, Mr. Mr. Attorney >> know that? You should know it.

[00:07:12]>> Whether whether inmate has access to her own >> I don't know. Uh this is a person of extra special interest to the president of the United States. He's known her.

[00:07:22]Why did he send you down to talk to her?

[00:07:26]>> send me.

[00:07:27]I went. What What do you mean? The You think President Trump called and asked me to go interview a witness in federal prison? Yes, I do, frankly. Because you know why? Because the deal was in. He needed somebody he could rely He needed somebody he could rely upon to talk to her and say what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein and you were the perfect choice and you went down there and suddenly Shazam she's out of [clears throat] what is a more confining situation into a not a a much more relaxed federal prison.

[00:07:59]>> Every word that I asked her is recorded and available to you to review. If there's criticisms of the question that I asked her, go ahead and make them. But the president did not have anything to do with my choice to go interview Ms. Maxwell. If I wouldn't have went and a career would have went, you would have said, "Why didn't you go yourself?" Just like you expect me to know whether she has access to her own shower. So I did go.

[00:08:20]>> Everyone in the United States who reads the newspapers know that.

[00:08:25]I guess you don't, you know, read things like that. You know, this this whole hearing I think is exposing something which is to me very frightening. Uh you're a very gifted lawyer.

[00:08:35]>> [snorts] >> But from my perspective you have very little faith to the Constitution and the people of America and you're the president's consigliere. Your perspective is completely wrong, Senator. Respectfully.

[00:08:49]>> think the facts will prove me right.

[00:08:51]Thank you.

[00:08:52]Let's be absolutely clear about what Jack Reed just exposed. Trump used a legitimate privacy breach affecting 400,000 Americans as a vehicle to set up a fund controlled entirely by his appointees that could pay his allies including January 6th attackers while a critical Treasury official resigned rather than certify the payments and Maxwell got transferred to a cushier prison after Blanche's personal visit.

[00:09:17]This is someone who understands both military service and financial corruption. And what he just documented is textbook abuse of power. The IRS breach in 2020, 405,427 taxpayer returns were leaked by an IRS contractor. One One those returns belonged to Donald Trump. Trump was president at the time, meaning it was his administration's IRS that failed to prevent the breach. Zero of those 400,000 victims have received any monetary reimbursement, including Trump.

[00:09:49]So, Trump filed a lawsuit against the government, his lawyers representing him, his own IRS and Justice Department appointees representing the government.

[00:09:58]As Reed notes, he's the plaintiff and his appointees negotiate the settlement for the other side. That's not justice.

[00:10:05]That's Trump negotiating with himself.

[00:10:08]Trump publicly announced on January 30th he intended to donate proceeds to charity, specifically mentioning the American Cancer Society and established and respected charities. Reed asked Blanche if he'll fulfill Trump's stated wish. Blanche's response, that's not ultimately what the settlement calls for. So, Trump publicly promised charity donations, then the settlement his own lawyers negotiated with his own appointees doesn't require charity.

[00:10:35]Where does the money go? To a fund Blanche controls. Who gets the money from this fund? Blanche says commissioners will decide. Who are the commissioners? Not named yet. Who names them? Blanche or whoever the Attorney General is. With the suggestion of the President of the United States, Reed asked, "Your boss?" Blanche claims Trump won't suggest names. Reed's devastating assessment, "I would be shocked if he didn't tell you exactly who to put on, and I'd be more shocked if you did not put them on." Reed presses, "Will you ensure that none of this money goes to anyone convicted on the January 6th attack on the Congress?" Blanche won't commit to it. The commissioners will determine who is eligible. Then the suspicious timing. The court order signed yesterday requires the Secretary of Treasury to certify payment, and the General Counsel of the Treasury Department resigned yesterday. Is it a coincidence? I have not checked. That's the Acting Attorney General of the United States claiming not to know why a top Treasury official resigned the same day Treasury was required to certify a major presidential settlement. Finally, Ghislaine Maxwell. Blanche personally visited Maxwell in prison, a convicted sex trafficker serving 20 years who has potential knowledge of Epstein's client network. Shortly after Maxwell was transferred to what Reed describes as a much more relaxed federal prison with her own room, access to a private shower, pet therapy. Blanche insists it was from a low security to a low security prison, but the amenities improved dramatically. Reed's implication, he needed somebody he could rely upon to talk to her and say, what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein and you were the perfect choice. Blanche personally interviewed a key potential Epstein witness shortly after her prison conditions improved.

[00:12:24]Every word that I asked her is recorded, Blanche says. Reed wants to see those recordings. Reed's devastating final verdict, this whole hearing is exposing something very frightening. You're a very gifted lawyer, but for my perspective, you have very little faith to the Constitution and the people of America. But this is Trump's personal criminal defense lawyer who is now acting attorney general overseeing a settlement Trump negotiated with his own appointees that could pay January 6th attackers while a Treasury official resigns rather than certify it and Maxwell gets better prison conditions after Blanche's visit.
