US judge stops tax deal for Trump

175
A judge in the USA makes a decision. It is about Donald Trump and the tax office. Trump sued the tax office for 10 billion dollars. He said: The office did not protect his tax data. The government and Trump made a secret deal. A deal means an agreement without a long trial.

The deal should protect Trump and his family. They should get no more tax tests. Also there should be a big pot of money. This pot should be 1 point 8 billion dollars. The judge Kathleen Williams says now: This deal is not valid. She says: Trump only used the court. There was no real fight between the sides.

The judge calls the deal a secret business. She also reports the lawyers of Trump. The lawyers did not follow the rules. Trump cannot use this deal anymore. At the same time there is trouble about a climate website. The government of Trump stopped the site. Former workers built the site again. They collect money for the site online.
