According to reports, a federal judge ruled on Monday that US President Trump and his family had previously filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for malicious intent. The judge harshly criticized Trump, his team of lawyers, and the US Department of Justice. The lawsuit prompted Trump to reach an extraordinary agreement with the current administration in May of this year. According to the agreement, the US government set up an “anti-weaponization fund” worth nearly 1.8 billion US dollars and promised to stop all pending tax audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. The Trump administration later abandoned plans to set up the fund due to boycotts from members of Congress, including Republicans; lawmakers feared that the money could be used to compensate Trump supporters who collided with the Capitol on January 6, 2021. However, the promise to stop the audit remains in effect. Judge Kathryn Williams wrote, “This is an attempt to use the courts to provide some kind of legitimacy to an agreement that grants immunity to individuals and entities associated with the president and sets aside billions of dollars of US taxpayer funds to redress undefined injustices in the law.” In the 56-page ruling, Williams harshly criticized Trump and his family's decision to file a lawsuit and the administration's failure to respond. But the ruling doesn't seem to change the agreement between Trump and his administration, including an agreement to end pending tax audits of him and his business. These documents were never formally presented to the court in this case.
