A federal district judge is probing allegations of fraud in President Donald Trump’s recently settled lawsuit over alleged IRS leaks of his tax returns, she indicated in an order on May 29.

An Anti-Weaponization Fund was created as part of the settlement of the lawsuit. Trump agreed to drop a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, provided that the nearly $1.8 billion fund would be established to compensate alleged victims of the weaponization of law enforcement.
