Story summary
  • Former federal judges filed a motion urging Judge Kathleen Williams to reopen the case and examine the $1.776 billion settlement tied to President Donald Trump.
  • The judges allege collusion, asserting President Donald Trump controlled both sides and the settlement prevents IRS audits of his and his family’s returns.
  • President Donald Trump’s lawyers contend the settlement was justified because defense costs would exceed $1.776 billion payment, while Judge Kathleen Williams has not ruled.
