A US appeals court rejects President Donald Trump’s request to pause a Florida federal judge’s sanctions tied to his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. The decision comes while Trump pursues an appeal of the underlying ruling, and it keeps penalties in effect for now.
The sanctions are based on a finding that Trump and his lawyers acted in “bad faith” in the case. Bloomberg reports the ruling stops a halt of the penalties during the appellate process, while NDTV says the 11th Circuit upholds the sanctions and maintains restrictions tied to the matter.
Across the coverage, both outlets agree the appeals court does not block the sanctions and does not disturb the key restrictions currently imposed as the appeal continues. Bloomberg frames the outcome as a refusal to pause the judge’s sanctions, and NDTV emphasizes that the appellate court maintains the sanctions and associated limits on referencing the settlement in official proceedings, as ordered by the lower court.
