A group of former officials with the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to scrutinize a controversial deal that granted President Donald Trump and his family sweeping immunity from past tax audits.

They alleged that the deal to resolve Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax documents in exchange for immunity from past audits was “unprecedented and breathtakingly improper.”

        Dammit, you’re right. Federal judge ruled that the two parties in the suit were not separate entities, but did not nullify any portion of the settlement.

          The ruling explicitly says that the settlement never had any legal standing. There is nothing to nullify.
