Judge Probes Alleged Deception Surrounding Trump’s Settlement With IRS

(The Epoch Times)—A federal district judge who is considering reopening President Donald Trump’s recently settled lawsuit over alleged IRS leaks of his tax returns indicated on May 29 that she is probing allegations of fraud.

An Anti-Weaponization Fund was created as part of the settlement of the lawsuit. Trump agreed to drop a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, provided that the nearly $1.8 billion fund would be established to compensate alleged victims of the weaponization of law enforcement.

A request for answers from attorneys came in an order issued by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams of Florida.

Williams said she wanted to probe “grievous allegations” that the settlement was “premised on deception.”
