A group of 35 former federal judges has filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida challenging the creation of a $1.776 billion fund by former President Donald Trump, which they describe as an 'anti-weaponization fund.' The lawsuit claims that the fund constitutes a 'fraud on the court' and would improperly direct taxpayer dollars to Trump's political allies. The judges are also seeking to reopen Trump's legal case against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning the unauthorized disclosure of his tax information by a whistleblower who was sentenced to five years in prison.
