Trump sues IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over leaked tax info
AI Summary
Donald Trump, along with his sons and the Trump Organization, is suing the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion, alleging the agencies failed to prevent the leak of his tax information to news outlets between 2018 and 2020. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, claims the leaks caused reputational and financial harm. This follows the sentencing of former IRS contractor Charles Edward Littlejohn to five years in prison for leaking tax data to The New York Times and ProPublica, who subsequently published reports on Trump's tax history. Trump's suit argues that Littlejohn's actions impacted his support in the 2020 election. The Treasury Department recently cut contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton, Littlejohn's former employer, after his conviction for leaking tax information of numerous wealthy individuals.
