一名联邦法官周五暗示，她可能重启特朗普总统与本国政府之间的一起法律诉讼。该诉讼曾促使司法部设立一项颇具争议的17.76亿美元“反武器化基金”。法官下令特朗普的律师就“欺骗”和“欺诈”指控作出回应。
美国法官凯瑟琳·威廉姆斯在一份四页的裁决书中作出上述表示。此前，数十名退休联邦法官请求她重启特朗普的诉讼，称政府和特朗普可能“欺骗”了威廉姆斯，使其驳回了这起案件。
威廉姆斯写道，这些前联邦法官提出了“严重指控”，称特朗普试图“仅仅为了避免对一起‘从一开始就是串通一气’的诉讼进行司法审查”而驳回该案，而提起该诉讼的唯一目的就是为一项非法和解披上合法外衣。
她指令特朗普团队在6月12日前提交回应文件，就前联邦法官提出的“串通”和“欺骗”指控，以及“鉴于法院是‘欺诈行为的受害者’，是否应当重启此案”的问题作出解释。
这是“反武器化基金”遭遇的最新法律障碍。就在周五早些时候，另一起独立诉讼导致另一名联邦法官暂时禁止司法部推进这项数十亿美元基金的相关工作。
今年早些时候，特朗普起诉美国国税局，指控该局泄露了他的纳税申报单，该案随后被纳入威廉姆斯的案件日程。威廉姆斯当时暗示，她计划调查这起诉讼是否具有法律依据，因为特朗普实际上同时站在了诉讼双方的立场上。但本月早些时候，应特朗普和司法部的要求，她驳回了这起诉讼，并表示不存在“记录在案的和解协议”。
该案被驳回数小时后，司法部宣布已达成和解，同意设立17.76亿美元的基金，向那些声称自己是政府“武器化”受害者的人支付赔偿。政府还承诺不会就与特朗普旧纳税申报单相关的任何问题对特朗普采取行动。
该协议立即引发批评，民主党人将其称为特朗普盟友的“贿赂基金”，一些共和党人则质疑1月6日国会骚乱的定罪暴徒是否能够获得赔偿。司法部为该基金进行了辩护，坚称该基金将保持非政治化，所有决策都将由总检察长任命的五人小组作出。
周三，一个由35名前联邦法官组成的联盟请求威廉姆斯撤销对该案的驳回决定，重启诉讼。他们辩称，该和解协议“是串通一气的产物，本身就是对法院的欺诈”，并表示威廉姆斯应当调查自己是否在该案是否有效、是否进行了“公平谈判以解决争端”等问题上被“欺骗”。
威廉姆斯周五写道，她有权调查“严重不当行为”，包括是否为“不当目的”提交文件，并在必要时实施制裁。
“一方仅为迫使达成和解而提起无意义诉讼的决定，可能就属于这种不当目的，”她写道。
司法部和特朗普法律团队的发言人未立即回复置评请求。

A federal judge signaled Friday she may reopen a legal case between President Trump and his own government that led the Justice Department to create a controversial $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” ordering the president’s lawyers to respond to allegations of “deception” and “fraud.”
U.S. Judge Kathleen Williams issued the four-page order after dozens of retired federal judges asked her to reopen the president’s lawsuit, arguing the government and Mr. Trump may have “deceived” Williams into dismissing the case.
Williams wrote that the former judges raised “grievous allegations” that Mr. Trump sought to dismiss the case “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.”
She directed the president to file a response by June 12, laying out their responses to the former judges’ allegations of “collusion” and “deception,” and “the question of whether the case should be reopened because the Court was the ‘victim of a fraud.’”
It’s the latest legal roadblock for the “anti-weaponization fund.” Earlier Friday, a different federal judge temporarily barred the Justice Department from moving forward with work on the multibillion-dollar fund, following a separate lawsuit.
The case arrived on Williams’ docket earlier this year, when Mr. Trump sued the Internal Revenue Service for allegedly allowing his tax returns to leak. Williams signaled that she planned to look into whether the lawsuit was legally valid since Mr. Trump effectively sat on both sides of the table. But earlier this month, she dismissed the suit at the president and the Justice Department’s request and said there was no “settlement of record.”
Hours after the case was dismissed, the Justice Department announced it had settled the case by agreeing to set up a $1.776 billion fund to pay out people who allege they were victims of government “weaponization.” The government also promised not to take action against Mr. Trump for any issues related to his old tax returns.
The deal drew immediate criticism, with Democrats casting it as a “slush fund” for Trump allies and some Republicans raising questions about whether convicted Jan. 6 rioters could get payouts. The Justice Department has defended the fund, insisting it will be apolitical and all decisions will be made by a panel of five people appointed by the attorney general.
On Wednesday, a coalition of 35 former federal judges asked Williams to reverse her dismissal of the case and reopen it. They argued the settlement “is a product of collusion and is itself a fraud on the Court,” and said Williams should look into whether she was “deceived” about whether the case was valid or whether there were “arms-length negotiations undertaken to resolve it.”
Williams wrote Friday that she has the power to investigate “serious misconduct,” including whether filings are made for an “improper purpose,” and impose sanctions if needed.
“A party’s decision to file a frivolous lawsuit for the sole purpose of forcing a settlement may qualify as such an improper purpose,” she wrote.
The Justice Department and a spokesman for Mr. Trump’s legal team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
