Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

Uncertainty qualifiers 2
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

Trump and the IRS are not signed by the parties — which include the president's two oldest sons and the Trump Organization — and are therefore "unenforceable." The president and his sons could still sue to enforce the original terms of the deal, and the "anti-weaponization" fund can be revived shortly after Blanche is confirmed, Durbin warned.
Charged wording in legal context 1
The wording was preserved as context but excluded from the grade because it appeared in an attributed quote or a legal/allegation context.

Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Judiciary panel, said Blanche "has no business" leading the Justice Department, and he accused the acting attorney general of attempting to reshape the department by firing longtime officials and replacing them "with unqualified MAGA loyalists who will rubber-stamp President Trump's corruption."
