Trump Seeks $10 Billion in Damages from IRS and Treasury Over Tax Data LeakFri 30th Jan, 2026Former United States President Donald Trump, along with his two eldest sons, has initiated legal action against the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The controversy over Trump's tax documents has been ongoing for several years. In September 2020, The New York Times reported on Trump's tax history, revealing that he paid only $750 in federal income tax in both 2016 and 2017. Following a protracted legal battle, Trump's tax returns were eventually released by Congress in 2022 through lawful processes. Legal experts note that such high-stakes litigation could have broader implications for the handling and protection of sensitive tax information within U.S. government agencies.
