Judge Slams Trump’s IRS Lawsuit as Self-Dealing | Montpelier News

A federal judge has slammed former President Trump’s IRS lawsuit as a blatant power play, calling it filed for “improper purpose” and self-dealing — with one of his lawyers already referred for disciplinary action. The case, which began with a $10 billion claim over leaked tax returns, was deemed a sham because Trump sued a federal agency he once controlled, undermining judicial fairness. The judge’s blistering ruling exposes manipulation of the legal system, and while a controversial $1 billion fund for allies was part of the settlement, it’s now off the table. With a key AG confirmation looming, the judge’s findings — including accusations that lawyers represented both sides and favored former clients — are poised to ignite national debate. Ethics complaints are already underway in New York and D.C., signaling this legal drama is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
