Judges review Donald_Trump IRS settlement

A U.S. judge in Florida, Ken Williams, has ordered a review of a controversial settlement deal between the United States — United States Department of Justice and Donald Trump. The settlement aimed to resolve Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the United States — Internal Revenue Service over alleged mishandling of his tax records. The proposed agreement includes a nearly $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' to compensate victims and would bar the United States — Internal Revenue Service from auditing Donald Trump, his relatives, and his companies for past tax claims. Thirty-five retired federal judges filed a motion alleging the settlement is a 'product of collusion and is itself a fraud on the court,' prompting Judge Williams to investigate serious misconduct. Separately, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia temporarily blocked the establishment of the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' due to backlash, including from some members of the United States — Republican Party (United States), who expressed anger that individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, U.S._Capitol attack could receive taxpayer-funded payouts.
