Trump Family Sues U.S. Government Over Tax Return Leaks. President Donald Trump and his two sons have filed a massive lawsuit against the U.S. government, seeking ten billion dollars in damages over leaks of their private tax records. The civil case accuses the IRS and the Treasury Department of failing to protect confidential financial information that was illegally disclosed by a former IRS contractor. That contractor, Charles "Chaz" Littlejohn, is now serving a five-year prison sentence after admitting he leaked tax data to major media outlets, including The New York Times and ProPublica. Those leaks revealed details of Trump's tax payments just weeks before the 2020 election. The Trump family says the disclosures caused serious reputational, financial, and personal harm, unfairly damaging their businesses and public standing. The lawsuit argues the government had a legal duty to prevent exactly this kind of breach—and failed to do so.
