Former federal judges ask court to reopen Trump’s IRS lawsuit, investigate payout fund
The 35 former judges want a court to investigate whether the unusual agreement to create the $1.8 billion fund was an act of fraud.
The 35 former judges, appointed by presidents of both parties, wrote in Wednesday’s filing in federal court in Florida that the plaintiffs misled the court by not disclosing any settlement in their notice to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit.
“The purported ”settlement” that the parties never placed before this Court raises profound questions about the parties’ candor toward the Court and manipulation of the judicial system, which threatens to undermine confidence in the administration of justice," the judges wrote.
Trump, his two eldest sons and his family business filed their suit against the IRS in January, seeking as much as $10 billion in damages for the theft of their tax filings by a former agency consultant, who then leaked them to news organizations. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams in South Florida, who had been overseeing the lawsuit, had questioned whether the parties were “sufficiently adverse,” because Trump was both a plaintiff and the president overseeing the agencies he was suing.
