A group of former federal judges has petitioned a court to reopen the case between Donald Trump and the U.S. tax agency, the IRS, CNBC reported. The ex-judges argue the court should examine possible 'fraud' connected to a Justice Department fund.
Reopening the matter, the judges wrote, 'will allow the Court to commence an inquiry into whether the Court was deceived.' The allegations have not been established by any ruling, and parties named in such disputes are entitled to respond to the claims.
It remains unclear whether the court will grant the request. A decision could shape both the trajectory of the case and broader scrutiny of how the fund was handled. This article is not legal advice.
