3. Judge is taking the position that the lawsuit does not include any settlement

The lawsuit was void due to a lack of a "case or controversy" and is not mentioned in the motion to dismiss. The court is in effect ruling that this settlement is not part of the lawsuit and has no force or effect.



NEWS A federal judge closes Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, noting there's "no settlement of record" because DOJ never mentioned one on the docket. We'll see if that upends the $1.776B fund to Trump's allies.




Again, the court had no jurisdiction in this case due to a lack of a case or controversy. There will be some litigation on this "settlement"
