Trump Appeals Federal Judge's Ruling on $10 Billion IRS Lawsuit Over Tax Record Leak
President Donald Trump has appealed a federal judge's ruling that questioned the legitimacy of his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, which arose from leaked tax records. The lawsuit, involving Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization, challenges the IRS's handling of confidential tax information leaked by a former contractor now serving prison time. The judge ruled the case was filed for an improper purpose to legitimize a settlement lacking legal basis, but Trump’s legal team disputes this and seeks to continue the legal challenge.
