Trump's lawyers are in settlement talks with the Justice Department over his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for tax return leaks
President Trump's attorneys filed a court document requesting a 90-day extension to engage in settlement discussions with the Department of Justice over his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department. The lawsuit, filed in January, stems from the unauthorized disclosure of Trump's tax returns by former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn, who was sentenced to five years in prison. The case marks the first time a sitting president has sued his own administration's agencies.
