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

A judge recently criticized President Trump for allegedly exploiting his presidential powers to manipulate the courts in an IRS case. The judge accused Trump of acting in bad faith by dropping a lawsuit seeking his tax returns and then instructing Cabinet members to create a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. This move has raised concerns about the potential misuse of executive authority and its implications for judicial independence. The case highlights ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary.
