Lastly, again, on democracy issues and the issue of corruption, I want to flag a new way that President Trump is trying to get around the basic rules that Americans themselves have to follow every single day as he enriches himself. The President, in the last couple of months has sued the IRS saying that he, his children, and his businesses should never again be audited. Not now, while he's president, not afterwards, while he's out of office and forever into the future for his sons. He wants to make sure no one in his family and no business can ever be audited ever again. (13:07–13:18)

CLAIM

Asserts that President Trump sued the IRS to prevent audits of himself, his children, and his businesses.
