DOJ considers settling Trump's IRS lawsuit which could send taxpayer money directly to the president's pockets [View all]

The Department of Justice is considering settling Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, which could send taxpayer money directly to the president’s pockets, according to a new report.

Trump sued the IRS and the Treasury Department for $10 billion in January, accusing the agencies of failing to prevent a leak of the president’s tax information during his first term.

The DOJ is now holding internal discussions about potentially settling the case, and what that would look like, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

One option that the DOJ and White House officials are weighing is the IRS potentially ending any audits of Trump, his family members or his businesses, according to The NYT.

One rarely gets that much in a wrongful death suit.
