Trump Drops $10 Billion Lawsuit Against U.S. Tax Agency

Deep News05-18

According to court documents made public on May 18, U.S. President Donald Trump has voluntarily withdrawn a lawsuit seeking up to $10 billion in claims against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Details regarding the specific terms of the withdrawal and whether a settlement has been reached between the parties have not been disclosed.

In January of this year, Trump, along with his two sons and the Trump family business, formally filed suit against the IRS. The plaintiffs alleged that during Trump's first presidential term, the IRS failed in its duty to effectively prevent former government contractor Charles Littlejohn from illegally disclosing confidential Trump family tax returns to media outlets including The New York Times and the news organization ProPublica.

The leak of this tax data had drawn widespread attention. According to media reports from 2020, the leaked documents indicated that Trump had paid very little in federal income taxes over many years, with some years showing zero payments.

Regarding the related legal controversy, Trump has repeatedly publicly accused the U.S. government system of being "weaponized" by his political opponents and used as a tool to suppress dissent. Since returning to the White House last year, Trump has continued to pursue judicial avenues in an attempt to hold parties accountable for past political and legal disputes and seek substantial financial compensation.
