1
President Trump has struck a deal with the Justice Department.
2
The president has agreed to drop a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS to create a fund
3
that would compensate some of his closest allies using taxpayer money.
4
Here's D.C.
5
Bureau reporter Ross Ketchke with reaction tonight.
6
It is anti-weaponization.
7
Tonight, the Department of Justice is setting aside more than $1.7 billion
8
in taxpayer money set to be paid out to allies of President Donald Trump who were investigated by the Biden administration.
9
This is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated.
10
The president has long argued he and his supporters were the subjects of politically motivated prosecutions.
11
After losing to Joe Biden in 2020,
12
Trump himself faced multiple state and federal investigations tied to his personal finances,
13
retention of classified documents, and efforts to overturn the election results.
14
These were people that were weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt with corrupt people running it.
15
Since returning to the White House last year,
16
he's used the power of the presidency to reward his political allies,
17
issuing sweeping pardons to more than 1,000 people connected to the January 6th Capitol riot.
18
This new settlement fund is being created in exchange for the president,
19
dropping his own multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns.
20
That case created complicated legal questions,
21
with the president suing government agencies that now report directly to him as commander-in-chief.
22
But Democrats are slamming the move as a corrupt handout to the president's friends.
23
Congressman Jamie Raskin writing, This case is nothing
24
but a racket designed to take $1.7 billion of taxpayer dollars out of the Treasury
25
and pour it into a huge slush fund for Trump at DOJ to hand out to his private militia of insurrectionists,
26
rioters, and white supremacists, including those who brutally beat police officers on January 6,
27
2021, and sycophant accomplices to his election-stealing schemes.
28
And, Janice, tonight it's still not clear
29
if the American public will ever get to see the details of settlements paid out from this fund,
30
meaning we may not ever know exactly who receives this taxpayer money and exactly how much they get.
31
Ross, we also want to ask you about the latest in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
32
A woman named Tova Noel appeared on Capitol Hill to answer questions in a closed-door deposition today.
33
Why is she so important to this case?
34
Well, Noel was the guard working in the federal facility where Jeffrey Epstein was being held the night he died,
35
apparently by suicide, back in 2019.
36
Noelle herself has said she is likely the last person to have ever seen the infamous sex trafficker
37
while he was still alive.
38
Now, lawmakers leading this investigation say that Noelle's failure to properly check in on Epstein
39
while he was being held in federal custody is part of a larger
40
and systemic problem among other staff and management at
41
that federal facility in New York City
42
and many of the lingering questions about Epstein's death while in federal custody have continued to fuel speculation and conspiracy,
43
especially in the last few years as the case has become entwined in national politics.
44
Janice?

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
