Trump hints at settling $10 billion lawsuit — and wants to give it away to ‘very good charities'

The president says any settlement in his IRS tax records case would be directed to charity.

President Donald Trump has an ongoing $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, but he now plans on settling it and donating the proceeds to charity. The president filed this lawsuit against the IRS on January 29 for leaking his confidential tax records in violation of federal privacy law back in 2020. Although it has been established that a former contractor was behind the leaks, the lawsuit accuses the IRS of failing to carry out its duty to safeguard confidential taxpayer information.

It's a legitimate lawsuit, but settling with an agency that is under you... seems like there would be some conflicts of interest there.

I think it would be better to continue the efforts in the courts until there is a judgment.

Good for Trump. News organizations, gov agencies have been slandering and outright lying about him for the past decade, time for them to pay up and shut up.
