History Buff Compares Trump IRS Lawsuit Reopened to the Downfall of Al Capone—Now It’s Tax Evasion All Over Again

It’s the same classic pattern: political giants crumble when the IRS turns up the heat. With decades of legal precedent and a modern twist of digital forensics, history might just be repeating itself—and the internet is already calling it the “Al Capone Clause” comeback.
