Donald Trump appeals July 2026 $10 billion lawsuit ruling
Donald Trump is back in court, this time appealing a July 2026 decision that lets the judge continue her inquiry into whether his $10 billion lawsuit was designed to mislead the court.
Trump claims the IRS leaked his tax information, but Judge Kathleen Williams raised doubts, suggesting the lawsuit might have been meant to mislead.
May 2026 DOJ $1.8B anti-weaponization fund
This all started after a May 2026 deal where the Justice Department agreed to set up a close to $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund" for people who felt politically targeted by the IRS, and agreed to stop auditing Trump and his businesses.
Judge Williams was not impressed, saying this could break rules about White House interference with the IRS.
Meanwhile, Trump's team insists their case is about an IRS employee leaking private details.
