Judge Orders Trump to Answer Fraud Claims in IRS Settlement

A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump to respond by June 12 to grievous allegations that his deal to settle the IRS lawsuit, financed by a $1.776 billion fund, was the result of fraud on the court; former federal judges urged reopening the case to probe Trump and DOJ conduct, and the settlement also bars investigations into his past tax returns—a setup critics call a slush fund for his allies.

Judge probes Trump-IRS deal that spawned $1.8B anti-weaponization fund

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.
