Federal judge voids Trump's IRS settlement and sanctions his attorneys
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ruled on July 14, 2026 that President Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS was filed for an 'improper purpose' and voided the settlement agreement reached in May. The settlement had included a $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' and a provision permanently barring the IRS from pursuing tax claims against Trump, his sons, and affiliated companies. Williams referred attorney Alejandro Brito to the Florida Bar for potential disciplinary action and banned attorney Daniel Epstein from practicing in the Southern District of Florida for at least a year.
