Tucson, AZ, September 29, 2026 —
A federal appeals court has ruled against an emergency motion seeking to block sanctions previously imposed on former President Donald Trump and his legal team. The decision means the sanctions will remain in place.
These sanctions originated from a lawsuit filed against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Treasury Department. A lower court had previously determined that this lawsuit was collusively filed. The court found that the suit was initiated with the intention of facilitating a controversial settlement totaling $1.776 billion.
Following the lower court’s findings, sanctions were levied against Donald Trump and his legal representatives involved in the case. The recent decision by the federal appeals court means it upholds these sanctions, rejecting the emergency request to halt them.
Details regarding the specific nature of the sanctions or the exact legal team members sanctioned were not further elaborated in the available information. The appellate court’s decision affirms the previous ruling concerning the collusive nature of the lawsuit.
