Former judges have filed a motion requesting judicial examination of an agreement between former President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Service, according to court documents. The motion seeks to have the judge overseeing an existing lawsuit against the IRS review the specific terms of the deal that was struck.

Separately, a federal court has issued an order requiring the Customs and Border Protection chief to appear at a hearing to address compliance issues related to tariff refunds. The court's demand for the official's appearance indicates judicial concern about the administration's progress in repaying funds from tariffs that were ruled to have been illegally imposed.

The tariff refund case involves approximately $166 billion that the government owes to importers and other parties who paid duties that were later determined to be unlawful. The court's order suggests questions remain about the pace and completeness of the refund process.

Both legal proceedings represent ongoing judicial oversight of Trump administration policies and their implementation. The IRS deal examination and the tariff refund compliance hearing reflect different aspects of court efforts to ensure proper resolution of tax and trade-related disputes from that period.
