Former Federal Judges Seek to Reopen Trump Lawsuit Against IRS Over $1.8B Fund
A group of 35 former federal judges has filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to reopen President Trump's lawsuit against the IRS. The lawsuit, initially settled by the Department of Justice, involved a $1.776 billion fund intended to compensate individuals allegedly targeted for political reasons. The judges argue that the settlement, which was not presented to the court, raises significant concerns about judicial integrity and the potential misuse of funds. They claim the settlement allows for the distribution of funds without congressional approval and benefits individuals pardoned by Trump, including January 6 rioters. The judges are seeking relief under Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which allows the court to set aside judgments if fraud is suspected.
