Former judges urge court to reopen Trump IRS settlement case

A group of former federal judges on Wednesday petitioned a federal court to reopen a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump against the Internal Revenue Service.

The judges argue that the Trump administration circumvented judicial processes by negotiating a settlement with the former president and establishing a $1.776 billion fund for individuals who believe they were wronged by the government, according to the petition.

The group contends that these actions undermine the integrity of the judicial process and warrant further review. They did not specify whether the court should dismiss or modify the settlement, only that it should revisit the case.

The lawsuit and subsequent settlement have been a point of controversy, with critics questioning whether due process was upheld. The court has not yet responded to the request to reopen the case.
