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.

    The judge didn’t refuse to reinstate them they ordered the white house to and the white house refused, that’s why they’re being sued.

      Wrong:

      https://federalnewsnetwork.com/agency-oversight/2025/09/trump-unlawfully-fired-17-agency-igs-judge-finds-but-wont-reinstate-them/

      “A federal judge found President Donald Trump unlawfully fired several agency watchdogs early in his second term, but won’t reinstate them to their government oversight jobs.”

      "Reinstatement would also be challenging, because the Senate has begun confirming some of their successors.

      In August, the Senate confirmed Cheryl Mason as the permanent IG for the Department of Veterans Affairs — replacing Michael Missal, the previous VA inspector general and one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Other agency watchdog offices continue to operate with acting IGs."

      Maybe the will appeal to the Supreme Court. This one is still independent, right??
