Here’s A First Federal Suit To Enjoin Trump’s $1.8B Slush Fund Attempt: This one is for Rigby!

Rigby and I have been discussing how quickly federal suits will be filed against what is likely the most brazen act of corruption, by any president in the history of our nation.

We will need to wait no longer. This suit has been filed in DC on behalf of police officers injured at the Capitol — when the J6 insurrectionists and rioting mob of thousands beat them with sticks and stanchions, and pummeled them with fists.

…[The Slush] Fund endangers the lives and safety of Plaintiffs Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges — officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, 2021 — in two ways. First, by its very existence, the Fund encourages those who enacted violence in the President’s name to continue to do so. Dunn and Hodges already face credible threats of death and violence on regular basis; the Fund substantially increases the danger.

Second, if allowed to begin making payments, the Fund will directly finance the violent operations of rioters, paramilitaries, and their supporters who threatened Plaintiffs’ lives that day, and continue to do so…

To prevent the public financing of paramilitary organizations in the United States, and to protect Plaintiffs from further violence, the fund must be dissolved. Dunn and Hodges bring this case to obtain that relief…

In January of this year, President Trump, his sons Eric and Donald Jr., and the Trump Organization sued the IRS for $10 billion in alleged damages arising from the 2017 and 2020 leaks of their tax returns. Compl., Trump v. IRS, No. 1:26-cv-20609 (S.D. Fla. Jan. 29, 2026), ECF No. 1…

That lawsuit was frivolous. Because Trump, as the sitting President, was both the plaintiff and in direct control of all defendants, Trump v. IRS lacked adversity, meaning there was no Article III case or controversy, and no subject matter jurisdiction. Trump all but conceded the lack of adversity earlier this year, he described the case as requiring him to “work out a settlement with myself…”

Now you know. Good call, Rigby.

Onward.
