Case Summary

This case challenged the U.S. government's alleged failure to safeguard the confidential tax returns of former President Donald Trump, his family, and their businesses, leading to a $10 billion lawsuit that was voluntarily dismissed amid allegations of a fraudulent and collusive settlement. The settlement created a $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" and, through an accompanying order, granted Trump and his family broad immunity from IRS examinations. The settlement, the fund, and the immu…

On January 29, 2026, President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and The Trump Organization, LLC filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Represented by private counsel at BRITO, PLLC and Epstein & Co. LLC, the plaintiffs brought two counts: (1) unauthorized inspection and disclosure of tax return information in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 6103 and 26 U.S.C. § 7431(a)(1), and (2) violation of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(10), for failure to safeguard their confidential tax return information. The plaintiffs sought at least $10 billion in compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and costs, and demanded a jury trial. The case was assigned to District Judge Kathleen M. Williams, with Magistrate Judge Enjolique A. Lett handling discovery and pretrial matters.

The complaint alleged that from May 2019 through at least September 2020, Charles "Chaz" Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor employed through the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, illegally accessed the plaintiffs' confidential tax returns and disclosed them to the New York Times and ProPublica. The plaintiffs alleged that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) had warned the IRS annually from 2010 through 2020 about security deficiencies, many of which went uncorrected. In October 2023, Littlejohn pleaded guilty to a violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7213(a) and was sentenced to five years in prison. The complaint cited the related case of Griffin v. IRS, No. 1:22-cv-24023 (S.D. Fla.), involving the same leak, which settled in June 2024 with the IRS issuing a formal apology. Griffin v. IRS, 730 F. Supp. 3d 1312 (S.D. Fla. 2024).

In February 2026, the court granted motions for leave to file amicus briefs by former government officials and public interest organizations and by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Public Citizen, after the plaintiffs filed no opposition. No defendant ever filed an appearance, answer, or responsive pleading.

On April 17, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a consent motion for a 90-day extension to allow for settlement discussions. Rather than ruling on the motion, on April 24, Judge Williams sua sponte raised concerns about Article III subject matter jurisdiction. She observed that although former President Trump claimed to sue in his personal capacity, the defendants were executive branch agencies subject to his direction while in office, and that Executive Order No. 14215 prohibited executive branch employees from advancing legal interpretations contrary to the president's positions. Judge Williams stayed the defendants' response obligation, ordered the parties to brief the jurisdictional question by May 20, and set a hearing for May 27. On April 29, she appointed attorneys from Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, Munger Tolles & Olson LLP, and Selendy Gay PLLC as amici curiae to assist the court on the issue. The court-appointed amici filed their memorandum on May 14, 2026.

On May 18, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), which is self-executing in the Eleventh Circuit. 2026 WL 1382751. The notice made no reference to any settlement. That same day, the U.S. Department of Justice publicly announced a settlement agreement, signed by Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward Jr. for the United States, IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano for the IRS, and plaintiffs' counsel Daniel Z. Epstein and Alejandro Brito. Under its terms, the plaintiffs received a formal apology from the United States but no monetary payment, and in exchange released and forever discharged the defendants and the United States from all claims arising from or related to the case, including injunctive, monetary, and any other relief. The settlement also resolved two separate Federal Tort Claims Act administrative claims by former President Trump related to the 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago and what the agreement described as the "Russia-collusion hoax," with the parties agreeing to withdraw those claims by June 15, 2026. Plaintiffs' counsel indicated in the agreement that, but for the settlement, they would have amended the complaint to add a putative class claim.

The settlement agreement provided that the Attorney General would create a "$1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund," funded from the Treasury Department's Judgment Fund, to compensate individuals alleging they were victims of government "Lawfare and Weaponization." The fund was to be administered by a five-member commission appointed by the Attorney General, with one member chosen in consultation with congressional leadership and all members removable by the president without cause. The agreement provided that the fund's corpus was based on projected valuations of future claimants' claims (not on the value of the plaintiffs' own claims), that claimants who accepted relief were required to forgo all other relief including judicial relief, and that the fund would cease processing claims no later than December 1, 2028.

The mechanics of the settlement were carried out through a pair of orders issued by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. On May 18, 2026, Blanche issued an order establishing the funding and operational requirements for the Anti-Weaponization Fund, stating that the settlement agreement itself "created" the fund. On May 19, 2026, Blanche issued a second order that expanded the scope of the release and added a broad, audit-related immunity provision. That provision purported to release Trump and related or affiliated individuals and entities (including family members, trusts, and related companies) from any and all claims that could have been asserted by the defendants, including with respect to "any matters currently pending or that could be pending (including tax returns filed before the Effective Date)." In effect, the May 19 order operated to shield the plaintiffs from future IRS examinations of pre-settlement tax matters.

On May 27, 2026, 35 former federal judges filed a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(d)(3), arguing the settlement was "a product of collusion and is itself a fraud on the Court." On May 29, Judge Williams granted the former judges leave to participate as amici curiae and ordered briefing on their allegations, ordering the plaintiffs to respond by June 12, addressing the charges of collusion, whether the dismissal was premised on deception, and whether the court was "the victim of a fraud."

The fund and the immunity provision quickly spawned a wave of separate lawsuits challenging their legality, filed in multiple districts. These included Floyd v. Department of Justice, No. 1:26-cv-1399-LMB (E.D. Va.); Dunn v. Trump, No. 1:26-cv-1719-RJL (D.D.C.); Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington v. Department of Justice, No. 1:26-cv-1789-RJL (D.D.C.); Gordon v. Blanche, No. 1:26-cv-1907-RJL (D.D.C.); and Gill v. Department of Justice, No. 3:26-cv-3283-CAB (S.D. Cal.). In Floyd v. Department of Justice, District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia issued a temporary hold on the fund on May 29, 2026, while considering a motion for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. After briefing and argument on June 12, 2026, Judge Brinkema issued a preliminary injunction keeping the fund from being funded or disbursed, and ordered the Acting Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury to submit written declarations, under penalty of perjury, confirming the status of the fund.

On June 2, 2026, Acting Attorney General Blanche stated in congressional testimony that the administration would not move forward with the fund, though the administration did not at that time withdraw the separate audit-immunity provision.

On June 12, 2026, the plaintiffs filed their response to Judge Williams's order. The plaintiffs argued that the Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) dismissal was self-executing and divested the court of jurisdiction the instant the notice was filed, leaving no judicial act that could have been corrupted by fraud. They contended that the former judges lacked standing to bring a Rule 60 challenge because their interests were not "directly affected" by the dismissal, as required under Eleventh Circuit precedent. The plaintiffs further argued that the DOJ possessed independent statutory authority under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2414, 2672, and 2677, and 31 U.S.C. § 1304 to settle claims administratively without judicial oversight, and that the settlement could have been reached regardless of whether the lawsuit was ever filed. On the merits, the plaintiffs maintained that their claims had independent legal merit, that three of the four plaintiffs were private citizens with no government role, and that the government's decision to settle rather than litigate available defenses was a rational litigation judgment rather than evidence of collusion. The plaintiffs warned that any order reopening the case or inquiring into the settlement would exceed the court's authority and warrant mandamus relief. On June 19, 2026, the former judges filed their reply in support of their motion for relief from judgment.

On July 13, 2026, Judge Williams granted the former judges' Rule 60(d)(3) motion in part and denied it in part. The court concluded that the lawsuit "was brought for an improper purpose—to gain the imprimatur of judicial legitimacy for a 'settlement' that had no viable basis in law or fact," finding that the parties were never genuinely adverse and that the case was filed in bad faith to provide judicial legitimacy for a settlement conferring benefits unavailable through ordinary litigation. Although the court held that the Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) voluntary dismissal deprived it of authority to reopen the merits of the case, it exercised its collateral authority to sanction litigation misconduct. The court prohibited the parties from relying on or citing the purported settlement agreement in any judicial, administrative, regulatory, arbitration, or other official proceeding; referred plaintiffs' counsel Alejandro Brito to the Florida Bar for possible discipline; barred Daniel Z. Epstein from seeking pro hac vice admission in the Southern District of Florida for one year; and directed the clerk to transmit the order to the New York and District of Columbia bars in connection with existing disciplinary proceedings involving Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward. Notably, the court expressly declined to resolve whether a private agreement between the parties, enforced "as if there is no judge," would be valid and enforceable, leaving open the possibility that the plaintiffs could later sue to enforce the settlement's terms.

The settlement also became a flashpoint in the Senate's consideration of Blanche's nomination to be confirmed as Attorney General (he had been serving in an acting capacity since April 2026). Blanche appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a confirmation hearing on July 15, 2026, where he testified that the fund was not moving forward and that the May 19 release applied only retroactively and only to the named parties in the case. Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, both of whom sat on the committee and were leaving Congress at the end of their terms, objected that Blanche had not put those representations in a binding written document, and their objections forced the committee to postpone its scheduled vote on the nomination.

On August 2, 2026, following negotiations with the two senators, Blanche signed an order stating that his May 18, 2026 order "establishing the Anti-Weaponization Fund" was "rescinded and shall have no force or effect." An accompanying, unsigned DOJ statement asserted that no members had been appointed, no funds transferred, no claims process established, and no claims paid, and that "there is no Fund." The statement also represented that the May 19 release applied only retroactively and that the DOJ interpreted the audit-immunity provision to reach only the named defendants (the IRS and Treasury) and the plaintiffs. Commentators noted that, because the rescinded May 18 order addressed only the fund's funding mechanics while the settlement agreement itself was what purported to "create" the fund, and because the plaintiffs never signed the August 2 rescission, the rescission did not necessarily extinguish the underlying settlement or foreclose the plaintiffs from later suing to enforce it. The audit-immunity provision of the May 19 order remained in place.

On August 4, 2026, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12-10 along party lines to advance Blanche's nomination to the full Senate, with Senators Cornyn and Tillis voting in favor after citing the August 2 order and the DOJ's representations limiting the audit provision. Senator Susan Collins of Maine announced she would oppose the nomination on the Senate floor.

As of early August 2026, the case remained closed following the May 18, 2026 voluntary dismissal, with Judge Williams's July 13 sanctions order resolving the post-dismissal fraud-on-the-court proceedings. However, the underlying settlement agreement had not been formally rescinded by all parties, the audit-immunity provision remained in effect, the fund-related litigation in the Eastern District of Virginia and other districts remained pending, and Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General remained before the full Senate.
