So let's move on to Trump versus IRS.
Our research indicates
that senior DOJ officials have never in the history of the department before faced a judicial inquiry into a fraud on the court participated in by the Department of Justice.
That was the inquiry opened in Florida.
The question about fraud on the court committed by the Department of Justice remains open in the judge's decision.
which she did find.
She found that the Department of Justice colluded with the Trump plaintiffs, that the Department of Justice violated DOJ policies in that collusion, that department attorneys were derelict in their responsibilities as DOJ attorneys, that the department failed to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States of America, its true client,
And as I said, the fraud on the court question remains open, an unprecedented allegation about the department.
As a result of that, the order was transmitted to the New York State Bar for potential disciplinary proceedings.
I would like to ask, in addition, since this is new news, the decision was what, two days ago?
I would like to ask that you say to us that you will be willing to provide all of the documents and communications between the Department of Justice and the Trump plaintiffs in that matter.
It just plain explain how it is active continued litigation in the district of Florida.
Well, it'll be interesting.
Do you intend to appeal the Department of Justice?
In that case, the Department of Justice filed no answer, filed no agreement with respect to the extension of time, filed no response to the case or controversy amici, filed nothing related to the withdrawal of the complaint, filed no settlement, and filed no response to the fraud on the court inquiry.
