A federal judge has torn apart President Donald Trump's own lawsuit, ruling he built it in bad faith to buy himself immunity from the taxman. The 56-page opinion, issued Monday by US District Judge Kathleen Williams in Miami, voids the settlement Trump struck with the Internal Revenue Service in May and refers his acting Attorney General for professional discipline.
It marks a rare judicial rebuke of a sitting president's use of the federal courts, delivered two days before that same official, Todd Blanche, faces a Senate confirmation hearing.
