US judge voids Trump $1.8 billion IRS settlement granting audit immunity
BBC World1 min read102 words
A federal judge ruled that a recent lawsuit was filed for “improper purposes,” concluding that the legal action was not grounded in legitimate claims. In the decision, the judge dismissed the case and noted that the filing appeared to be intended to harass or intimidate rather than to resolve a genuine dispute.
The judge also referred the attorney representing former President Donald Trump to the appropriate disciplinary authority for possible sanctions, citing conduct that may violate professional ethics rules. The referral will be reviewed by the state bar, which will determine whether any further action, such as reprimand or suspension, is warranted.
