As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

BREAKING: NOT SO FAST! Federal judge reopens Trump’s IRS case and demands to know if her court was defrauded.

Judge Kathleen Williams has had enough.

In a brief but devastating order Friday, the federal judge in Miami reopened Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — a case Trump had voluntarily dismissed last week specifically to avoid her scrutiny — and ordered Trump's lawyers to explain by June 12th why she shouldn't find that the entire scheme was a fraud perpetrated against her court.

The judge's language was pointed and precise. She said she wanted to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to resolve the case was "premised on deception." She asserted that she was "empowered to investigate serious misconduct" and demanded answers to two devastating questions: was "the court the victim of a fraud," and did Trump collude with his own government to settle the case specifically "to avoid judicial scrutiny"?

The answer to both questions, based on everything that has already been reported, appears to be yes.

Judge Williams had been circling this case for weeks before Trump pulled it. She had openly questioned how Trump could sue an agency he controls, with government lawyers who answer to him, producing a settlement negotiated with officials he appointed. She ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually adversaries or secretly colluding. Trump dismissed the case the day before those briefs were due.

Then, after she closed it, the Justice Department released not one but two extraordinary agreements — a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies, and a separate one-page document permanently barring the IRS from ever auditing Trump, his family, or his businesses. Agreements that had apparently been negotiated while the case was supposedly active before her court.

Judge Williams cited the New York Times report revealing that the IRS had prepared a 25-page memo outlining strong defenses against Trump's suit — defenses the Justice Department never raised in court, never filed, never mentioned.

Her order came directly in response to the filing by 35 former federal judges — appointed by presidents of both parties — who called the scheme a fraud and urged her to reopen the case.

She listened.

"We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter," said Norman Eisen, who represented the former judges.

Trump tried to flip the table before she could see the cards. She just put them back on the table.

If you can’t wait to see the Justice Department try to explain itself, please like and share this post everywhere.

Three years ago, my son Charlie, who was 2 years old then, asked if he could bring a toy with us to the grocery store. I usually don’t let my kids bring toys, but that time I said yes for some reason.
We walked around the store and went through checkout as usual. Then Charlie noticed his toy was gone. It wasn’t just any toy — it was a 1970s Star Wars Stormtrooper. We went back and looked everywhere, but we never found it.
Since then, every time we go to Cub Foods, Charlie has to stop at the Guest Service counter to ask if they found his Stormtrooper. He’s been doing this for three years.
A couple of weeks ago, the guest service worker, Diego, who we see often, told me quietly that he and a co-worker bought a Stormtrooper online to surprise Charlie.
Today, when we went to the Guest Service counter, Diego “found” the 1970s Stormtrooper and gave it to Charlie! Charlie’s face lit up — he couldn’t believe he finally got it back.
Cub Foods, you have amazing people working there! Diego, your kindness made me so happy I cried tears of joy. I’m very thankful for this gift to my son!

"I was at the kennels today for a memorial ceremony. The silence from everyone was so heavy. Then, he came forward. The way he called for his partner, as if he was still there... it shattered everyone. 💔 He left his own medal for his best friend. A true hero honoring another hero. I just kept filming, trying to hold it together. One of the most powerful moments I've ever witnessed. Their bond is eternal."
