Judge blasts Trump for using the presidency to ‘manipulate’ courts in IRS case

A federal judge in Florida harshly criticized President Donald Trump for what she deemed "bad faith" actions in a tax return lawsuit. Judge Kathleen Williams accused Trump of manipulating the courts by quickly dropping the lawsuit and directing his Cabinet to create a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. This move, according to the judge, was an attempt to influence the court's proceedings unfairly. The ruling underscores the potential for presidential power to be misused to sway judicial processes, raising significant concerns about the integrity of the legal system.
