Amici (including ex-Judge Gleeson & ex-SG Don Verrilli) have told the judge in IRS v Trump of 3 “substantial defenses” in Trump’s tax case, including (1) sovereign immunity, being argued *now* by DOJ in other cases involving tax leaks by the *same* govt contractor ... 1/3
The contrast between Defendants’ conduct here and the government’s conduct in related
litigation also suggests that the President may have control over DOJ’s litigation conduct. The
parties are engaged in settlement negotiations in this case, see Dkt. No. 40, even though DOJ has
asserted substantial defenses in other cases stemming from Mr. Littlejohn’s disclosures of tax
information—including cases litigated during President Trump’s current term. For example, DOJ
has argued that, because Mr. Littlejohn was a government contractor rather than an officer or
employee of the United States, sovereign immunity was not waived.

One day after news broke that Republicans want to spend at least $1 billion taxpayer dollars for a ballroom Trump said would be privately funded and cost one-fifth that amount, Trump claims it will cost "something less than 400 Million Dollars." The math ain't mathing.
The White House Ballroom is going up rapidly on the East side of the White House. The only reason the cost has changed is because, after deep rooted studies, it is approximately twice the size, and a far higher quality, than the original proposal, which would not have been adequate to handle the necessary events, meetings, and even future Inaugurations. The original price was 200 Million Dollars, the double sized, highest quality completed project will be something less than 400 Million Dollars. It will be magnificent, safe, and secure! This was a necessary change, it was done long ago, but the Fake News failed to report it, trying to make it look like there was a cost overrun. Actually, it is coming in ahead of schedule, and under budget! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
