Trumps IRS deal under scrutiny by former judges and lawmakers

May 28, 2026 • Google News World

A group of 35 former judges has submitted a request to the court to investigate President Trump’s deal with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The request, filed in federal court, seeks an inquiry into the terms of the agreement and whether it may have involved “fraud” on the part of the government.

The ex-judges, who are from various states across the country, claim that the settlement was “unprecedentedly fraudulent” and that the court should reopen the case to examine its validity. The request does not specify what exactly is being investigated, but it suggests that there may be concerns about the legitimacy of the agreement.

The group of former judges has been vocal in their criticism of President Trump’s actions, particularly with regards to his handling of classified documents and other matters related to national security. This latest move appears to be an attempt to further scrutinize the president’s dealings with the IRS.

The court will review the request from the ex-judges and determine whether it has any merit. The outcome is uncertain at this point, but it is clear that there are concerns about the legitimacy of President Trump’s deal with the IRS.

In related news, several major news outlets have reported on the story, including The New York Times, The Detroit News, CNBC, CNN, and CBS News.
