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

Federal Judge Kathleen Williams criticized President Donald Trump for allegedly using his office to manipulate the courts, particularly in an IRS lawsuit related to his tax returns. The judge noted Trump's abrupt withdrawal of the lawsuit and his subsequent directive to create a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, which she deemed suspicious. This move highlights concerns about the misuse of presidential power to influence legal processes, raising significant questions about accountability and the integrity of the judiciary.
