Podcast host Joe Rogan expressed shock Monday on “The Joe Rogan Experience” at President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization” compensation fund, created through a $10 billion IRS lawsuit settlement.
The fund compensates Trump allies and January 6 Capitol rioters who claim wrongful prosecution under Former President Joe Biden’s administration.
Speaking with comedian Tom Segura, Rogan took particular issue with a document signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, which permanently bars the U.S. from pursuing tax claims or legal actions against Trump, his family, trusts, and companies.
Rogan compared the arrangement to immunity from prosecution, sarcastically saying, “You just go straight Uday Hussein,” referencing the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s son.
Despite endorsing Trump in 2024, Rogan has become a cautious critic during his second term.
Former IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel stated the president should face the same tax rules as all Americans.
Both Democrats and Republicans have criticized the fund.
