A federal judge Monday said a controversial lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump against the IRS sought to “manipulate the judicial process” and that he acted in bad faith in bringing it.
US District Judge Kathleen Williams is ordering sanctions for the attorneys involved in the lawsuit, which led to an attempt to create the now-defunct $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund for allies of the president. It was also used to justify a Trump administration order giving Trump and his businesses amnesty for any past tax issues.
A deal which is basically worthless. The next administration can ignore it and the most Trump can do is sue. And that negates the whole point of the deal which was to avoid needing to defend the scheme in court. Since the deal is legally indefensible, he’s very unlikely to win that case.
