Miami Judge Calls Trump IRS Lawsuit an Improper Self-Dealing Move

A federal judge in Miami ruled that President Trump’s suit against the Internal Revenue Service was an improper exercise in self-dealing, barring him from claiming the tax protections obtained were part of a legitimate settlement, and recommended disciplinary action against the lawyers involved. The judge also forwarded the decision to the Florida bar and to the New York bar for ongoing scrutiny of acting attorney general Todd Blanche, highlighting backroom negotiations rather than a proper legal process while not explicitly nullifying the underlying agreement.

Fifteen members of the military, ranging in rank from staff sergeant to colonel, have faced disciplinary or administrative actions following an internal investigation into the arrest of Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira, who is awaiting trial for allegedly leaking secrets online. An Air Force Inspector General report found that three members of Teixeira's unit could have reported their concerns and potentially limited the breach but intentionally failed to do so. The report also identified several contributing factors that enabled Teixeira's alleged access and disclosures to continue, including inconsistent guidance on reporting incidents and a lack of oversight. The report emphasizes the importance of safeguarding classified defense information and holding responsible individuals accountable.

The Air Force has disciplined 15 Air National Guard enlisted troops and officers in connection with the alleged leak of classified information by a 21-year-old airman at a Massachusetts base. The disciplinary actions were taken due to a "lack of supervision" that enabled the incident. The airman, Jack Teixeira, was arrested earlier this year for leaking classified information online. The punishment ranged from relieving personnel from their positions to nonjudicial punishment. The Air Force found that Teixeira's supervisors were not aware of his alleged leaks, but members of his unit failed to take proper action after becoming aware of his activities.
