BOMBSHELL: Trump Strikes Back — Files $10 Billion Lawsuit Against IRS, Treasury for Political Leak

In a stunning legal offensive that is reverberating across Washington and Main Street alike, President Donald J. Trump — joined by his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and the Trump Organization — today filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, accusing them of grievously violating federal tax confidentiality laws and weaponizing taxpayer data for political purposes.


Filed in the Federal District Court in Miami, the civil complaint alleges that senior government agencies — entrusted with safeguarding America’s most sensitive financial records — failed spectacularly to protect Trump family tax information from unauthorized disclosure to the news media during his first term in office, causing reputational harm, financial damage, and unfair political attacks.


At the heart of the case is the assertion that an IRS contractor, Charles Edward Littlejohn, unlawfully accessed and distributed Trump’s private returns to major news outlets, including The New York Times and ProPublica. Those outlets then published selective reporting that painted Trump in the worst possible light, emphasizing controversial details like low reported tax obligations — a narrative weapon that critics insist fueled decades of media bias and political attacks.


Trump’s legal team argues that the government breached its statutory duty to protect taxpayer privacy, violating IRS Code § 6103, which strictly prohibits unauthorized disclosure of tax return information. The complaint contends this breach was not merely administrative negligence but — given its publication and subsequent political exploitation — tantamount to politically motivated erosion of Trump’s personal and business reputation.


From Mar-a-Lago to Manhattan boardrooms, Trump allies are calling the lawsuit a watershed moment in the fight to hold deep-state bureaucrats accountable:


“For too long, unelected caste members in the federal bureaucracy have been allowed to spy on and weaponize the private data of patriotic Americans — starting with President Trump,” a spokesperson for the Trump legal team said. “This lawsuit puts them on notice: no one is above the Constitution.”


According to filings:

  • The IRS and Treasury failed to prevent a massive leak of Trump tax records

  • Improper disclosures were sent to media outlets that have openly opposed Trump’s presidency

  • Trump and his family suffered reputational injury and business harm due to narratives built on selectively leaked data

  • The lawsuit seeks $10 billion in damages — a figure meant both as recompense and deterrent against future government overreach

In response to earlier scandals, the Treasury Department canceled contracts connected to the contractor involved, citing widespread breaches of trust and data-security failures.


Across conservative circles, this lawsuit is being hailed as another line of defense against the entrenched federal bureaucracy and media elites who have long targeted the Trump movement. Supporters say that if Trump prevails, it will send a powerful message that government agencies can no longer leak confidential data to fuel partisan narratives.


“This isn’t just about one man’s tax returns — it’s about the right of every American to have confidence that their government will protect, not exploit, their private information,” said one Republican strategist.


With the case just beginning, legal analysts predict a high-stakes saga that could stretch well into 2026 and beyond, dragging questions of federal accountability, taxpayer privacy, and elite media complicity into the national spotlight.


One thing is clear: President Trump is not backing down — and neither are millions of patriotic Americans who see this lawsuit as a historic stand against bureaucratic abuse and political sabotage.
