President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, and is seeking $10 billion in damages.

Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020.

          Who hires the IRS lawyers that do decide them?

              OMG! The good news just keeps coming and coming

              “On September 24, 2025, federal judge Ana C. Reyes ruled that the administration unlawfully fired 17 inspectors general, but refused to reinstate them, noting that Trump could simply re-fire them after providing the congressionally mandated 30 days’ notice.”

                  Didn’t you read the part about the judge refusing to reinstate them?

                  So you still believe the people that decide settlements for IRS are independent of the administration even though Trump can just fire them at will… That’s why everyone laughed at you. Now I feel stupid for providing arguments. I should have just laughed as well.

                    The judge didn’t refuse to reinstate them they ordered the white house to and the white house refused, that’s why they’re being sued.
