Judge Slams Trump’s IRS Lawsuit as Sham | Global News

from Global News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A federal judge just slammed Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, calling it a sham filed for an improper purpose — essentially, a legal maneuver to legitimize a secret deal that would’ve funneled taxpayer money to his allies. The judge, Kathleen Williams, highlighted the absurdity of suing a federal agency he controlled, and noted that even the Acting AG, Todd Blanche, couldn’t credibly represent both sides — revealing the case was really about serving Trump’s interests alone. While the fund’s already been scrapped, the ruling is a major rebuke to anyone thinking the courts are a tool for self-dealing. It’s a powerful reminder: no one, not even the president, gets a free pass in the justice system. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
