SUMMARY

President Trump is suing the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion, claiming they failed to prevent a former employee from leaking his tax returns to the media. The lawsuit, filed in Miami, includes Trump’s sons and the Trump Organization as plaintiffs. It alleges reputational and financial harm due to the leaks.

Former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn was sentenced to five years for leaking Trump's tax records, which revealed he paid only $750 in 2016 and 2017. Trump's previous comments labeled the leak as "totally fake news" and "illegally obtained."
