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.
Because having his tax docs made public caused the Melania movie to megaflop?
He’s suing all of us. We are the government.
All the presidents combined for the last century have only amassed $40 million in wealth while in office despite the whining and complaining by the right about the Clintons or Obama. All of them, combined, a century’s worth…$40 million
Trump has stuffed his pockets with $3 billion in since he got elected. In one year.
What a disgusting billionaire worshiping sick country the US has become, just sickening
Based on what little I know of this, myself only being versed in Bird Law, doesn’t the IRS enjoy sovereign immunity as a governmental entity? They can just declare that they do not agree to being sued.
Yeah, but they’re an executive agency, so Trump can just fire anyone who says no, until they get to someone who will agree to let the lawsuit proceed.
Their counsel has to provide a vigorous defense of the IRS so they can’t walk into court and agree with Trump.
Are any of their remaining staff capable of providing a vigorous defense?
That’s a point
I’d hope any judge hearing the case under such circumstances would appoint someone capable of providing a vigorous defense if the executive (branch) was unwilling or unable to.
Don’t try to make sense, you’ll scare them!
But the defendant can’t issue a counter suit. How is that possible. I hate this timeline. He will get away with it too watch…
No. You can sue the IRS for all kinds of reasons related to your taxes. You’re expected to go through administrative channels first, but you absolutely can sue the IRS.
LOL OMG broad day light THEFT of US treasury.
We’ll see what happens…
I’ll never forgive the assholes that voted this piece of shit into office again. I feel dumber every time I read this childish bullshit, and sad for humanity seeing the homuculi that applaud stupidity.
I’ll never forgive the assholes that voted this piece of shit into office
You shouldn’t. These are the new Nazis. Sociopaths completely without respect for anything.
You mean the tax returns he was supposed to voluntarily release, himself?
Watch the fucking system eat itself alive
I am so sick and tired of this fucking LEECH. Everything about that thing is horrid. Every little thing. Zero redeeming qualities. He is a disgusting parasite.
The world would be better place…
They will end up settling out of court for half that and he’ll laugh all the way to the bank. Another grift executed.
A 0.1% settlement is still $10m.
10 mil ain’t shit to him
He just accepted a gold bar and Rolex in exchange for removing tariffs on Switzerland. Even if that were a 1 kilo gold bar, that’s $160,000. He got all his tech goons to contribute $1M to his inauguration.
Correct, but it is “never work another day” money to billions of people.
Eat my ass you irredeemable cunt
How can he show damages when all the other presidents released theirs?
What damages? How about we dig into all the fraud on avoiding paying taxes on all that money daddy gave him?
Nitpick: if it’s criminal then it’s tax evasion, not tax avoidance.
It’s not only for $10b because his lawyer ‘intepreted’ “a hundred hundred gazillion bigly dollars” at an actual amount rather than trying to explain how numbers work.
