Judge says Trump tried to 'manipulate the judicial process' with $10 billion IRS lawsuit
A federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS was designed to manipulate the judicial process by justifying a settlement including a multibillion-dollar 'anti-weaponization' fund. The judge sanctioned two of Trump's attorneys and barred them from practicing in the Southern District of Florida, while also stating the lawsuit was not genuine due to lack of government opposition and cancellation of the fund by the acting Attorney General.
