Home - CBSNews.com | Ex-judges push to look into "anti-weaponization fund" deal
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Dozens of former federal judges have petitioned a court to revisit a controversial $1.776 billion “anti‑weaponization” settlement that resolved President Trump’s lawsuit accusing the IRS of leaking his tax returns. The judges argue that the deal—intended to create a fund for individuals claiming they were victimized by government “weaponization” and to bar the IRS from pursuing claims against Trump—is potentially fraudulent and was reached without a genuine case or controversy, suggesting the court was misled. They contend that Judge Kathleen Williams, who dismissed the original case, has the authority to set aside the judgment on grounds of fraud and that reopening the matter would allow an inquiry into the legitimacy of the settlement, which critics have dubbed a “slush fund” that could benefit Trump allies and even Jan. 6 pardoned rioters. The Justice Department defends the fund as non‑partisan, with payouts to be decided by a five‑person board appointed by the attorney general.

"With the former president’s and his Republican Party’s determined denial of January 6, their refusal to acknowledge that the former president lost the 2020 presidential election fair and square, and their promise that the 2024 election will not be “stolen” from them again as they maintain it was in 2020, America’s Democracy and the Rule of Law are in constitutional peril — still.
