AI Summary

Former President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, as indicated in recent court documents. This decision appears to be linked to plans for creating a $1.8 billion fund aimed at compensating individuals who feel they were unfairly targeted by investigations from previous administrations. The court filing noted that the lawsuit was still in its early stages, allowing Trump to dismiss it without needing IRS approval. Importantly, this dismissal is with prejudice, preventing Trump from re-filing the case in the future.

John Bolton Pleads Guilty to National Security Charges Amid Political Pressure

John Bolton, former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, has agreed to plead guilty to charges of illegally retaining national security information. This plea marks a rare legal victory for federal prosecutors against Trump's political adversaries. Bolton's agreement involves admitting to sharing classified information with his family, which could lead to a maximum prison sentence of five years and a fine exceeding $2 million. The case, led by federal prosecutor Kelly Hayes, has been viewed as more serious than other politically motivated prosecutions, and Bolton's decision to plead guilty appears aimed at avoiding a trial that could expose sensitive information. His sentencing hearing is set to take place soon, with potential implications for his freedom.

This proposal comes as California voters prepare to decide on a billionaires' tax in November, which Newsom opposes, fearing it could drive businesses out of the state. His plan suggests a minimum tax for individuals worth over $100 million, aiming to ensure they pay at least the same tax rate as average workers.
