Trump vs. IRS $10B lawsuit

The discussions aim to reach a settlement before the case proceeds to a potentially damaging trial.

Trump’s legal team alleges that the IRS failed to implement sufficient safeguards to prevent the leak, which they claim was politically motivated.

The former contractor involved, Charles Littlejohn, was previously sentenced to five years in prison for the disclosure.

A resolution could involve a significant financial payout and a formal apology from the federal agencies involved.
