Liz Oyer, who testified at Todd Blanche's hearing, tells Katie Couric that under the settlement Blanche signed, Trump could demand his $1.776 billion fund and the end of his tax audits at any time. She says the agreement bars claims if Trump, his corporations or his sons don't pay their taxes, letting them enrich themselves at taxpayers' expense.

Trump could say any day, Todd, you're going to enforce that settlement and get me my $1 .776 billion fund and get me my tax audits dropped. It would legally, legally he would have that claim. The thing that was troubling to Cornyn was, is this fund dead or not? But I think that, you know, going a little deeper than that, the real issue is that Todd Blanche is somebody who is so devoted to Donald Trump that he would sign this thing in the first place. It's an agreement that does not benefit the American people at all. We cannot pursue any claims against Donald Trump if he doesn't pay his taxes, or if his corporations don't pay taxes, or if his sons don't pay their taxes. It essentially gives them a pass to conduct their businesses without following the laws and to enrich themselves Further at the expense of American taxpayers.
