President Donald Trump is suing the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion for failure to prevent a leak of his tax information to news outlets. The suit, filed in a Florida federal court on Thursday, also saw Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr and the Trump organisation as plaintiffs.

In 2024, former IRS contractor Charles Edward Littlejohn of Washington DC — who worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, a defence and national security tech firm — was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to leaking tax information about Trump and others to news outlets.
