Trump’s $10 BILLION lawsuit against his own government just hit a wall. A federal judge says the case looks collusive, raising serious concerns that Trump is trying to use the courts to get a payout from the Treasury Department. Now the judge is demanding answers, ordering Trump or his administration essentially to explain why this isn’t a fraud on the court. One possible outcome? The judge could pause the entire case until Trump leaves office—so that a real adversarial process can exist.

JUST IN: A federal judge put Trump's $1.7 billion slush fund on notice. Judge Richard Leon pressed DOJ lawyers to put in writing that the fund isn't moving forward. When asked why they wouldn't, the DOJ's answer was: "I don't know." The fund survived today's hearing, but the judge delivered a pointed warning to the DOJ: if the administration is telling the court the fund is not moving forward, then it better not move forward. Scott MacFarlane reports.

A federal judge just dismissed Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch. The case: Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He sued to silence the reporting. The judge threw it out. $10 billion. Against his own ally’s media empire. To bury a story about Epstein. Think about what that tells you.

🚨 JUDGE KATHLEEN WILLIAMS DROPS A BOMBSHELL: Federal Judge Kathleen Williams has referred key Trump lawyers — including Acting AG Todd Blanche — to state bar authorities for disciplinary action in the IRS settlement scandal. In a scathing ruling, she found the $10B lawsuit was filed for an “improper purpose”: a collusive, bad-faith scheme lacking real adversity between parties. It was designed to rubber-stamp audit immunity for Trump and allies plus a $1.8B taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization” fund. Self-dealing that abused the courts.

BREAKING: A federal judge is now signaling the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could potentially amount to fraud on the court. That is nuclear-level language from a judge. “Fraud on the court” is not normal criticism. It is reserved for situations where a court believes it may have been manipulated, misled, or used as part of a coordinated scheme. And the judge reportedly pointed to two giant red flags: - the massive $1.8 billion settlement amount - and concerns the opposing sides may not have actually been acting as true adversaries Translation? The court is openly questioning whether this lawsuit was partially engineered to create a taxpayer-funded political compensation machine. That is an absolutely extraordinary development.

🇺🇸 Trump turned a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS into a $1.8 billion fund for his own supporters, all without Congressional approval. The deal also requires the IRS to drop all pending audits involving Trump, his family, and his businesses. So Trump used a lawsuit against his own government as leverage to shield himself from tax scrutiny, direct nearly $2 billion to allies, and bypass Congress entirely. 2 federal judges have already blocked the deal, pending further hearings. The White House calls it an "anti-weaponization" fund. Critics call it something else: a president using public money to settle a personal legal dispute while removing his own tax oversight.

"We’re forcing the media to come right to the border and see the most secure border that this country’s ever had," says CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott Rodney Scott. 🔥 "We have a President Donald J. Trump that stepped up and said we’re going to put America First, we have a President Donald J. Trump that had a vision, we have a President Donald J. Trump that spoke with authority, and even before he was inaugurated... he sent a very clear message: border security is national security — it's going to be a priority going forward, and I don’t care what the title behind your name is. If you work in the federal government you’re going to support it."

So instead of actually working through the court system, Trump settled out of court, again, with HIS OWN Justice Department.”🤦‍♀️

You cannot sue yourself, settle with yourself, and then write yourself a check from the Treasury. Donald Trump is trying to do exactly that. Welcome to Episode 15 of the Corruption Chronicles. Trump is expected to drop his lawsuit against his own IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. In exchange, he wants a $1.7 billion slush fund to compensate people who claim the Biden Administration wrongfully targeted them — run by a commission he controls, operating entirely in secret, funded by your tax dollars. Who’s in line to collect? Trump’s allies, the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with January 6th, and entities tied to Trump and his family. This is corruption, and it has to stop.
