A federal judge has referred attorneys for former President Donald Trump to their respective bar associations for potential disciplinary action. The referral is related to a lawsuit filed against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that aimed to establish what the plaintiffs termed an "Anti-Weaponization Fund."
The judge's decision means that Trump's legal team could face sanctions or other penalties if the bar associations find that their conduct violated professional rules.
The lawsuit itself was an effort by Trump and his allies to challenge the IRS's handling of conservative groups' tax-exempt applications. However, the suit was dismissed by the court.
Further details regarding the specific grounds for the referral and the involved attorneys were not immediately available. This action could have implications for Trump's legal team and their future litigation strategies.
