Judge Slams Trump Lawsuit as Bad Faith | San Francisco News

A federal judge has slammed lawyers in Trump’s civil suit, calling it an “improper purpose” scheme designed to divert taxpayer money and dodge audits — even referring one attorney to the Florida Bar and restricting another’s practice. Though a $1.776 billion fund for victims of alleged government overreach was scrapped, a provision shielding Trump and his family from IRS tax claims remains. The judge found no real dispute, noting Trump’s presidential control over the agencies sued, and accused him and his sons of bad faith. She’s also sending the order to bar associations in New York and D.C., and criticized the Justice Department for failing to defend U.S. interests — calling the whole effort a “startling misstatement” that tried to weaponize the courts for financial gain.
