• Trump, his sons, and Trump Organization sue IRS for $10 billion over tax document leak — President Donald Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and the Trump Organization filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service seeking $10 billion in damages, claiming the agency was responsible for an IRS contractor's leak of Trump's tax documents to the press. The leaked documents showed Trump paid no income tax to the U.S. for fifteen of twenty years while paying approximately $200,000 in taxes to China. The lawsuit alleges the leak caused "reputational and financial harm, public embarrassment," and "unfairly tarnished their business reputations."
• Trump sued IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over tax record leaks — Donald Trump, his two eldest sons, and his family business sued the IRS and Treasury Department over alleged leaks of their confidential tax information. The plaintiffs seek at least $10 billion in damages in a civil complaint filed in Miami federal court. The lawsuit alleges the IRS and Treasury failed to prevent the leak of tax records by former IRS employee Charles Littlejohn in 2019 and 2020. Trump's legal team stated "The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Org to the NYT, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets." This is the second major lawsuit filed by Trump against the government where Attorney General Pam Bondi will decide whether to settle and for how much.
