Retired Judges Seek Reopening of Trump Lawsuit They Call Fraudulent

A bipartisan group of 34 retired federal judges filed a motion in a Florida federal court to reinstate Donald Trump’s dismissed lawsuit against the U.S. government, describing the dismissal as fraudulent and arguing that the related $1.776 billion Judgment Fund slush fund and a so‑called settlement were pretextual; they ask the court to set aside the dismissal under Rule 60 so the underlying controversy can be examined and the case resolved, while noting the original filing faced conflicts of interest and potential statute‑of‑limitations issues.
