Analysis Summary
A federal judge ruled Monday that Trump's lawsuit against the IRS was filed for improper purposes and amounted to self-dealing, voiding the settlement and referring his attorney to bar authorities for disciplinary review. The lawsuit had been used to justify a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund that the judge found was built on collusion between the two supposedly adverse parties. This is the second major legal setback for Trump in the same week and signals courts are willing to scrutinize settlements his administration negotiates with government agencies.
