Judge Slams Trump Family Legal Maneuvers | Lawrence News

A Florida federal judge has slapped former President Trump and his sons with major legal consequences, calling their actions in dropping a $10 billion lawsuit and pushing for a $1.8 billion fund a blatant abuse of power. The judge, appointed by Obama, ruled they manipulated the courts for personal gain, shielding themselves from future prosecution and tax enforcement. She’s barred key attorneys from her courtroom, referred one to disciplinary review, and banned Trump and his company from referencing the settlement in any future legal matters — while also ordering them to repay court-appointed attorneys’ fees. The ruling, bolstered by 35 former federal judges who called the deal a sham, is hailed as a major victory for the rule of law.
