A federal judge has reopened Donald Trump’s $10bn case against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), after receiving a third-party motion asserting that the settlement, which lacks detail, “is a product of collusion and is itself a fraud on the court”.
The ruling, issued by the Miami judge Kathleen Williams, revives a lawsuit brought by the president and his sons against the IRS after their personal and business tax returns were leaked by a former contractor.
It also should have been filed within the statute of limitations, which is only 2 years. The leak was in 2020.
Also, damages are capped at a couple grand per incident, of which there was one.
