Judge Williams Defies Trump in Tax Ruling | Jacksonville News

Federal Judge Kathleen Williams just delivered a seismic blow to President Trump’s $10 billion IRS lawsuit, calling the deal a sham born of collusion between Trump and his own Justice Department. Using Supreme Court precedents—even those penned by Trump allies—she exposed the president’s bad faith, referred the acting U.S. Attorney to the NY Bar, and dismantled the legal legitimacy of the settlement. Though the fund was scrapped and Trump still avoids tax scrutiny, the ruling shatters the illusion of executive immunity. Known for her fearless rulings—from shutting down Alligator Alcatraz to enforcing COVID protocols—Williams stands as a defiant force in a climate where judges face threats. Miami attorneys hail her as courageous, calling her work “exquisite” and “scathing.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
