Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers: Doyle, Moynihan vs. IRS in a December 2018 Congressional hearing. (Credit: Fox News)
A judge has agreed to consolidate two cases brought by whistleblowers against the IRS, alleging the tax agency failed to provide them with an award for information on the Clinton Foundation, according to court documents reviewed by Just the News.
The decision, which was not opposed by the IRS, indicates that the trial is moving forward.
The cases were brought by retired federal agent John Moynihan and private fraud expert Larry Doyle and have wound their way through the U.S. Tax Court for years.
(…) Earlier this month in the U.S. Tax Court shows the Chief Judge has ordered several disparate cases associated with the Clinton Foundation information be consolidated into one, setting the stage for a trial, according to a filing reviewed by Just the News.

In the filing, the Chief Judge of the U.S. Tax Court Patrick J. Urda ordered all the parties to submit a report on the “present status” of these cases by Jan. 9, 2026, indicating that the challenge is progressing.

So far, still unresolved
The Tax Court had tentatively scheduled a Dec. 1 trial, but met unexpected resistance from the Trump administration. The Internal Revenue Service under Trump filed a motion in August in the case arguing that as a matter of administrative and procedural law, the judge should not let the case proceed to trial because after an initial review, the IRS declined to look into the whistleblower complaint and, therefore, the plaintiffs had no standing to sue.
So far, it appears the court has not ruled on that motion to dismiss the case, according to the court docket.
Doyle told Just the News in August that that latest twist is just another example of the resistance the government has displayed to investigating the Clinton Foundation over many years.
“Not surprising that the IRS would seek to dismiss our case in this fashion simply because that is the same tactic the IRS deployed in our initial case ongoing now almost 6 years in US Tax Court and growing more serious everyday,” he said.
“The simple fact is the more the American public learns about the Clinton Foundation as it has in recent days, the more it is entitled to know all the truth and facts involved,” he added.
Moynihan and Doyle first detailed the findings from their investigation in that December 2018 testimony before a House committee.
