Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, filed on January 29, 2026, was dismissed amid allegations of bad faith and collusion. The Eleventh Circuit upheld sanctions against Trump's lawyers for misusing the court to legitimize an out-of-court settlement, which included a $1.776 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' and immunity for Trump and his family from IRS examinations. U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams found that the lawsuit was not genuinely adversarial, as Trump controlled the IRS. The court barred Trump and his attorneys from presenting their agreement as a court settlement. The case's dismissal and subsequent sanctions have led to ongoing legal disputes and calls for further investigation into the settlement's legitimacy.
