Former US President Donald TRUMP has filed a lawsuit against the IRS and the US Treasury Department, alleging failure to protect his confidential tax records. The legal action, submitted in federal court in Miami, Florida, seeks $10 billion in damages for reputational, financial, and personal harm caused by unauthorized disclosures.

Investigations revealed that Charles Edward Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor, accessed and shared the records with media outlets including The New York Times and ProPublica. Littlejohn pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison for the offense. The case highlights systemic weaknesses in centralized data storage and internal controls at federal agencies.

The lawsuit presents a rare constitutional dimension as Trump, who once oversaw these institutions as president, now challenges their operational safeguards. The outcome could set precedents for taxpayer privacy and government accountability in the digital age.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
