Trump deal with IRS could see him given $14B in taxpayer money

4 hours ago

Donald Trump and his sons are suing the IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax information, and both parties are seeking a 90-day extension to potentially settle the lawsuit.
Ethics watchdogs, including Democracy Forward, oppose the lawsuit, citing conflicts of interest and accusing Trump of trying to profit at public expense.
The leak exposed discrepancies in Trump's tax payments, revealing years with minimal or no taxes paid, and a former IRS contractor was jailed for the leak.
Trump has suggested donating a potential settlement to charity, but critics point to his history of unfulfilled charitable promises.
Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced a bill to prevent Trump from profiting by suing his own agency, highlighting ongoing scrutiny over his tax returns and transparency.
