Story summary
  • Thirty-five federal judges filed a Miami motion asking Judge Kathleen M. Williams to vacate her dismissal of the Trump-IRS settlement.
  • The settlement creates a $1.8 billion fund to compensate Trump allies alleging weaponization and grants tax benefits to President Donald Trump, his family and businesses.
  • Judges argue the deal lacks constitutional or congressional authority and that Trump tried to block review, while Senate Republicans doubt payouts that could include Jan 6 rioters.
