President Donald Trump's $10 billion (£7.41 billion) lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service is facing a serious legal challenge — not from his political opponents, but from the federal bench itself. Florida District Judge Kathleen M Williams issued an order on Friday questioning whether the case can even legally proceed, raising a fundamental constitutional concern that legal analysts say cuts to the heart of the suit.
At issue is a striking paradox: Trump is the sitting president of the United States, and the agencies he is suing, the IRS and the Treasury Department, are both under his executive authority. Judge Williams said it is unclear whether Trump and the agencies are 'sufficiently adverse to each other,' ordering both sides to provide more information on the relationship.
