Trump sued his own government back in January for the leak of his tax returns in 2019.
The DOJ set aside almost $1.8 billion for this fund.
People who feel like they were targeted by the federal government can apply for this fund and get payouts for damages.
Groups like the nonprofit Democracy Forward sued the government over this whole program.
And on Friday, a judge temporarily blocked the DOJ from moving forward with the fund.
That means no payouts right now.
She's now thinking about whether to grant a longer-term pause.
Trump's lawyers have about two weeks to respond.
Yeah, so the original federal judge who oversaw Trump's lawsuit over his tax return leaks also weighed in on Friday.
That judge, Judge Kathleen Williams, had earlier dismissed the case after the government and Trump settled.
Before dismissing it, she expressed some concerns.
She said she was worried that Trump and the IRS, which is obviously a part of his government, weren't really on opposite sides and that the court itself might be a, quote, victim of fraud.
35 retired federal judges weighed in and urged Judge Williams to take another look.
And stay with me here.
Judge Williams said she's going to consider that she's giving Trump's lawyers until June 12th to respond.
Trump supporters have really wanted something like this to exist.
But there's a lot of legal obstacles here for the president to get his fund up and running.
Well, there's some serious bipartisan pushback to this whole program.
Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said previously that he is not a big fan of this fund.
But the loudest critics have been naturally Democrats.
