President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and the Treasury Department, alleging the agencies failed to prevent a former contractor from leaking his tax records to the media. The lawsuit stems from a 2020 report that revealed details of Trump’s past tax payments, which he has repeatedly said were illegally obtained.
