A group of 35 former federal judges has filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida to challenge the establishment of Donald Trump's $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization fund.' The lawsuit claims that the fund constitutes a 'fraud on the court' and alleges it would direct taxpayer money to Trump's political allies. The legal action also seeks to reopen Trump's case against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding the unauthorized disclosure of his tax information by a whistleblower, who was sentenced to five years in prison for the breach.
