Ex-MSNBC host horrified as he highlights ‘presidential scam’ set to see Trump pocket $1.7B

>President Donald Trump appears ready to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in exchange for a $1.7 billion settlement – an arrangement that left former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan in disbelief on Friday.

>“How is this not the biggest scandal in the United States right now?” Hasan asked in an analysis published Friday in Zeteo.

>“How is a sitting president getting away with suing the government he is in charge of and then settling the case, effectively with himself, to gain access to more than a billion dollars of taxpayer cash, which could end up in the personal bank accounts of his cronies? Has there ever been a presidential scam quite like this?”

“How is this not the biggest scandal in the United States right now?”

Where are members of the Congress and Senate in this matter? Oh right, they’re gifting too.
