A bombshell leak has revealed that the Justice Department was advised to shut down Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS before settling with the president by creating a $1.8 billion fund for MAGA loyalists.
IRS lawyers intended to contest Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the agency and advised the DOJ to move to dismiss it, The New York Times reports, citing two people familiar with a memo from the lawyers.
The 25-page memo, which laid out what the lawyers viewed as holes in the president’s lawsuit, was provided to Treasury officials in April, but it is unclear whether it was ever forwarded to its intended recipients at the DOJ, the two insiders told the Times.
