Federal Judge Investigates Allegations of Fraud in Trump's $1.8 Billion Fund
A federal judge is examining allegations that President Trump's lawyers defrauded the court to create a $1.8 billion fund linked to a lawsuit against the IRS. The inquiry was prompted by a brief from former federal judges claiming the settlement was not legally justified and that the court was misled. The fund, criticized by some as a corrupt mechanism for Trump's allies, has been temporarily blocked by another judge pending further legal proceedings.
