Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
A bipartisan group of 35 retired federal judges has filed a motion in federal court in Florida alleging that Donald Trump and the Department of Justice committed fraud by misleading the court over a $1.8 billion settlement that would establish a "weaponization" fund and shield Trump from IRS audits. The judges are demanding a formal investigation into whether the deal constitutes fraud, marking a significant legal challenge to the controversial agreement.
