Trump Seeks Immediate Halt to Judge’s Penalties

“President Donald Trump has asked a federal appeals court to pause a judge’s order imposing sanctions on him and his lawyers for how they handled his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service while he appeals that ruling,” Bloomberg reports.

“Trump is challenging a Miami judge’s findings that he brought the IRS case in ‘bad faith’ and reached a deal with the Justice Department to end the litigation that had no ‘basis in law.’ She barred Trump and federal agencies from referring to the terms — including immunity from tax audits for past filings — in any official proceedings and referred his personal attorneys for potential disciplinary action.”
