Trump Fights Back After Judge Calls His $10 Billion IRS Lawsuit 'Bad Faith'— Mourns Loss of Scrapped $1.7

On Friday, President Donald Trump appealed a federal judge’s finding that his $10 billion IRS lawsuit was filed in bad faith, while expressing disappointment that the controversial $1.776 billion "lawfare" fund tied to the proposed settlement had been scrapped.

Trump, two of his adult sons, the Trump Organization and two attorneys filed a notice Friday appealing U.S.

District Judge Kathleen Williams’ July 13 order to the 11th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals, CNBC reported.

Williams concluded that the lawsuit — which stemmed from the disclosure of Trump’s tax returns by a former IRS employee — was used to provide "judicial legitimacy" for a settlement that lacked a viable legal or factual foundation.
