0:58Now PlayingA federal judge in Florida issued a scathing ruling Monday regarding President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, saying it was filed for "an improper purpose."
Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, also referred the lawyer who brought the case to the Florida bar for possible disciplinary action.
Trump had sued the IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax information by an agency contractor.
The DOJ settlement of the case included the creation of a $1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund, which was scrapped after bipartisan criticism.
