Trump to Appeal Judge’s Ruling Denouncing IRS Lawsuit

“Lawyers for President Trump said on Friday they would appeal a recent order from a judge casting doubt on the legitimacy of a $1.8 billion fund and extraordinary personal tax protections that emerged from a deal to drop his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service,” the New York Times reports.

“The notice of appeal, filed in Federal District Court in Miami, was the latest sign that Mr. Trump was willing to pursue his fight for the fund and the tax provision even though they have badly damaged his relations with Senate Republicans and jeopardized the confirmation of his pick for attorney general, Todd Blanche.”
