President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department as one of the plaintiffs on Thursday, alleging a former IRS employee leaked his confidential tax records over six years ago.
The federal lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, accuses the IRS and Treasury of failing to prevent the tax return leak carried out by Charles “Chaz” Littlejohn. The former IRS employee illegally accessed and disclosed the tax records to liberal news outlets in 2019 and 2020.
