The leftist media doesn't want you to know... "the rest of the story".-----When Donald Trump was a private citizen, a government contractor stole his private tax data and leaked it to the media.

Because the government failed to protect his private records, Trump and his family sued the IRS for $10 billion. - Peggy Traeger Tierney

On May 18, 2026, the Justice Department settled the case. 

Trump agreed to walk away with zero dollars for himself. 

• In exchange, the government put $1.776 billion into an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to help ordinary citizens who say they were also unfairly targeted by federal agencies. 
• The government also agreed to completely drop its ongoing tax audits against Trump's businesses.

Trump declined $10 billion he was statutorily entitled to under 26 U.S.C. § 7431 and converted it into a compensation pool for other citizens, so calling this a corrupt enrichment scheme is factually backwards...
