President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department for $10 billion, alleging that they failed to take necessary steps to prevent a former IRS employee from improperly disclosing his tax returns, and those of his sons and his company, to news outlets.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday at a federal courthouse in Miami, says Trump is suing in his personal capacity, not as president. The other plaintiffs include two of Trump’s sons — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — and the Trump Organization.

"Defendants have caused Plaintiffs reputational and financial harm, public embarrassment, unfairly tarnished their business reputations, portrayed them in a false light, and negatively affected President Trump, and the other Plaintiffs’ public standing," the complaint said.

The Treasury and IRS did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday night.

3. Question..does "discovery" have a place for TSF and his sons and the Organization to abide by?

Will the lawsuit continue if financial discovery is required?

4. Court should put it on hold until after he's out of office as there is a huge conflict of interest.
