Miami Judge Demands Answers Over Trump-IRS Settlement and Slush Fund

A U.S. District Judge in Miami ordered Donald Trump and the other plaintiffs in the IRS settlement case to answer three allegations—collusion/adverseness, deception in the dismissal, and possible fraud—regarding the $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund and potential relief of up to $100 million in back taxes, signaling a rare clash between the judiciary and the executive; Trump must respond by June 12, with potential appeals or DOJ intervention as observers watch for how the case unfolds.
