Judge agrees to reopen Trump’s $10B IRS case for further scrutiny
Judge Kathleen Williams ordered Trump’s lawyers to address allegations that the suit was filed to force a settlement and create a $1.8 billion fund.
- Williams signaled in an order Friday that she is considering reopening Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit, questioning whether the filing violated court rules against improper purpose.
- Trump filed the $10 billion lawsuit earlier this year regarding 2019 and 2020 tax return leaks; Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche then revealed a settlement creating a nearly $1.8 billion fund for victims of government weaponization.
- Williams questioned if the suit was "clearly untimely" under a two-year statute of limitations; she also flagged that a settlement addendum waiving tax claims against Trump and his sons was signed only by Blanche, potentially violating DOJ policies.
- Police who defended the Capitol and Justice Department prosecutors sued to block the nearly $1.8 billion fund, with another judge ordering a two-week pause on its establishment, creating legal uncertainty.
- Hundreds pardoned for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach expressed interest in the payouts, while the court's scrutiny into whether Trump's attorneys filed the suit solely to justify the settlement remains a critical legal hurdle.
