IRS and Treasury appeal July order in Trump tax-settlement case
A primary court filing shows that the IRS and Treasury noticed an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit from the July 13 order in the tax-disclosure lawsuit brought by Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and the Trump Organization. That order addressed the parties' unusual litigation and settlement conduct, including the agreement that had announced the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund.
Response / context
The two-page notice preserves rights and identifies the order being appealed but does not explain what relief the government seeks. It does not state that the formally rescinded fund will return. Attorney General Todd Blanche previously said the fund never began operating and would not proceed; the notice contains no new statement from him.
