KEY POINTS
- •Donald Trump, his two eldest sons, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion on Thursday.

In a 2024 blockbuster lawsuit with enough drama to rival a reality TV reunion, President Donald Trump, along with his two eldest sons and the Trump Organization, are suing the IRS and Treasury for a whopping $10 billion. The case targets IRS ex-employee Charles 'Chaz' Littlejohn, accused of illegally accessing their tax returns back in 2019 and 2020 — the same period when everyone swore taxes were nobody’s business but America’s own soap opera. The suit claims 'confidential, personal information' leaked caused 'reputational and financial harm' and 'public embarrassment,' a phrase plastered with trademark Trump-brand dramatic flair. Meanwhile, the White House, IRS, and Treasury are mastering the art of the silence drama as they dodge Axios' requests for comment. Adjacent to this spectacle, an unrelated IRS announcement about DOGE overhaul hints at changing the taxpayer game, because why avoid chaotic news waves when you can surf them all at once?
