Judge probes Trump-IRS deal that spawned $1.8B anti-weaponization fund
TL;DR Summary
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams is weighing whether Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS was a pretext to force a settlement that created a roughly $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund for victims tied to government weaponization, after 35 former judges urged reopening the case to probe possible misconduct and improper purpose; the fund has drawn bipartisan backlash and litigation to block it, and DOJ/IRS filings related to the suit were not submitted in response.
