Donald Trump has a reputation for slashing his taxes using techniques that some experts find aggressive. Now the Justice Department has told the president he doesn't have to worry about being called out on it. In an extraordinary decision earlier this week, the IRS is suspending probes into his past returns to settle a lawsuit that Trump brought against the agency. Law experts say the move is unprecedented and unfair to Americans who have to play by the rules. Trump says tax authorities targeted him politically — a claim for which he has given no proof — and that he was right to seek a remedy.
