US EditionTrump Sues IRS and Treasury for $10 Billion
Trump alleges government failure to protect his tax data caused reputational and business harm after a 2019 leak by a former IRS contractor sentenced last year.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and the U.S. Treasury over a 2019 disclosure, alleging failure to protect his financial data.
- The complaint traces the leak to Charles Littlejohn, former IRS contractor who admitted stealing 15 years of Trump’s tax data and was sentenced last year; the IRS apologized four years after publication.
- Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett argued the case has real legal legs, saying the leak allowed media to portray Trump in a 'false light,' harming his business interests and political reputation.
- The filing is poised to examine IRS security protocols, and whether Trump wins large damages or not, the suit will put them under a very uncomfortable microscope amid public fallout.
- Analysts note the suit raises broader liability questions about the government’s liability for workers, with legal experts weighing whether the IRS obligation to safeguard sensitive information was breached.
