Judge says Trump sued IRS for 'improper purpose'; refers his lawyer to bar
A Florida federal judge, Kathleen Williams, ruled that President Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax records "for an improper purpose," referred his lawyer Alejandro Brito to the Florida Bar, and barred parties from using a settlement that gave Trump, his family, and businesses audit immunity and briefly created an abandoned $1.776 billion "lawfare" fund. The Justice Department denies collusion, saying the Trumps were victims of illegal leaks who received no money, while lawyers for 35 former judges whose brief prompted the ruling call it a victory for the rule of law.
