Update on the #Trump #SlushFund #Lawsuit
2026/05/29 The Judge, already suspicious of the weirdness of Trump suing his own government, has made an order to Trump, his family, and his businesses:
> the non-party movants ask this Court to reopen the instant case pursuant to Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, arguing that the Court should “exercise its authority under Rule 60 to set aside the judgment in this lawsuit . . . [and] resume its inquiry into whether there is an actual underlying case or controversy[.]”
> the non-party movants advance grievous allegations that Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed this litigation solely to avoid judicial scrutiny of a lawsuit that “was collusive from the start” and was only filed to provide the imprimatur of legality for an unlawful settlement.
> Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs shall file a response to the Motion (DE 63) on or before June 12, 2026, detailing their position on the matters set forth in the Motion, including (1) the charges of collusion and whether the Parties are truly adverse; (2) the assertion that the dismissal in this case was premised on deception by the Parties; and (3) the question of whether the case should be reopened because the Court was the “victim of a fraud.” (DE 63 at 13, citing 11 Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2870 (3d ed.)). The non-party movants may, if they choose, file a reply on or before June 19, 2026.
