The Department of Justice is considering whether to settle Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, according to a New York Times report citing three sources familiar with the matter. The case stems from a January lawsuit in which Trump and two of his sons sought $10 billion, alleging the IRS failed to prevent a leak of the president’s tax information. The report says DOJ discussions could involve a settlement that would provide a monetary award potentially totaling about $10 billion. No details about the terms of any potential settlement are provided in the excerpts, and it is not clear whether negotiations are at an advanced stage or whether the government would agree to any payout. The IRS and DOJ positions in the matter are not described in the provided summaries. The allegations focus on the handling and protection of tax return information, while the dispute centers on whether the IRS’s actions—or lack of action—led to damages warranting the amount requested in the suit. The sources cited by the New York Times are described as being familiar with the deliberations.
