A US appeals court has refused to pause sanctions arising from President Donald Trump's $10 billion (£7.6 billion) lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), leaving in place a lower-court finding that the litigation and its purported settlement were collusive.
A three-judge panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals said the appellants had not made a strong showing that the lower court clearly erred in its findings of collusion and bad faith. The panel also rejected a challenge to restrictions on how the parties could refer to the agreement in official proceedings.
