Trump sues IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over leaked tax records
The president argued in the lawsuit that the agencies failed to prevent a former contractor from leaking his tax returns from nearly a decade ago to news outlets.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday at a federal courthouse in Miami, says Trump is suing in his personal capacity, not as president. The other plaintiffs include two of Trump’s sons — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — and the Trump Organization.
If Donald Trump wins or settles the $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Treasury Department on January 29, 2026, the payout would be funded by U.S. taxpayers through the federal government.
