President Donald Trump has agreed to drop his family\u2019s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of their tax filings to the media, his lawyers said in a court filing Monday.<\/p>\n

The filing did not mention details of any settlement he may have reached with the agency.<\/p>\n

The suit \u2014 which Trump, his two eldest sons and the Trump family business filed in January <\/a>\u2014 sought as much as $10 billion in damages for the theft of their tax filings by a former agency consultant who then leaked them to news organizations.<\/p>

The former contractor, Charles Littlejohn,<\/a> also leaked confidential tax records filed by other wealthy Americans. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2024 to five years in prison in a case a judge called \u201cthe biggest heist in IRS history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,\u201d a spokesperson for Trump\u2019s legal team said in a statement last week. President Trump continues to hold those who wrong America and Americans accountable.\u201d<\/p>
