President Donald Trump's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization" slush fund is now facing jeopardy on multiple fronts, with one just pausing the fund and another reopening the Trump lawsuit against the IRS that formed the basis for it. And things could be about to get ugly for the president, former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara told MS NOW's Jen Psaki on Friday evening.

"Let's just start with Judge Williams' ruling tonight, which effectively reopens the IRS case that Trump supposedly settled, kind of pulled it out of court, I guess," said Psaki. "Give us your thoughts on how that order came to be and what it means."

A federal judge waylaid Donald Trump's legal team Friday by reopening his $10 billion IRS lawsuit, declaring she wants to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to settle it was "premised on deception," The New York Times reported.

In what the Times called a "striking turnabout," U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams revived the case just days after she had closed it. The Obama appointee said she wants to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding Trump's effort to settle the suit in a way that benefited him, his family, and his political allies — including the controversial $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" that critics have blasted as a slush fund.

The United States needs a deal with Iran, but Iran needs the United States as an enemy.

That's the brutal diagnosis from one of America's leading Iran experts in a new analysis warning that any peace deal President Donald Trump strikes with Tehran is almost certainly doomed before it starts.

Former Trump official turned critic Miles Taylor anticipated that President Donald Trump's latest business venture — Trump Mobile — could be "a prophecy of what’s to come."

Taylor wrote in an opinion piece for The i Paper on Friday about his experience working with Trump during the president's first administration, revealing what motivated Trump the most: cash.

President Donald Trump celebrated his record this week in endorsing winning candidates – endorsements typically made to oust his perceived GOP enemies – but in doing so, he has “essentially” turned himself into a “lame-duck” president devoid of any real power for the remainder of his term, one GOP Senate adviser has warned.

The adviser, who spoke with The Atlantic in its analysis published on Friday under the condition of anonymity, named the president’s “pursuit of retribution” as the key driver in what The Atlantic described as his “political decline,” a dynamic exacerbated by the shrinking number of people within Trump’s orbit willing to push back on his “personal priorities.”
