Judge Slams Trump Lawsuit as Bad Faith | New York City News
Description
A federal judge has slammed Trump’s legal team for orchestrating a lawsuit with “improper purpose,” referring one lawyer to the Florida Bar and restricting another’s practice rights. The case, centered on a $1.776 billion fund for victims of alleged IRS “weaponization,” now excludes that provision—but a key clause shielding Trump and his family from IRS audits remains. The judge called the lawsuit a bad-faith maneuver to dodge audits and grab taxpayer money, labeling it “risible.” She also rebuked the Justice Department for ignoring legal boundaries and failing to defend U.S. interests. With one lawyer facing a confirmation hearing, the ruling underscores the judge’s view that this was a scheme to exploit the courts for personal immunity, not a legitimate legal fight.
