Added Context for Trump’s IRS Lawsuit
The lawsuit said the leak of Trump’s tax information caused reputational and financial harm and sought at least $10 billion in damages. The underlying leak involved IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn, who was sentenced to prison for providing journalists with tax returns belonging to Trump and other wealthy taxpayers.
Quoting the Bulwark:
Recall that Trump brought suit against the Department of Justice for the Mar-a-Lago search and the Russia investigation, and against the IRS for the unauthorized release of his tax returns (which wasn’t the IRS’s doing). His original ludicrous ask in the IRS suit was $10 billion (two thirds of the IRS’s annual budget) along with $230 million for the other inconveniences. As the judge in the IRS case observed, Trump was sitting on both sides of the table, and thus there is no actual case, just an undisguised attempt to loot taxpayers.
Also:
It’s just as grotesque as you imagine. Trump is reaching his grubby hands into the largest till in the world, the U.S. Treasury. Along with an apology from the IRS, the arrangement would also guarantee that the IRS would never audit any member of the Trump family ever again.
