(AP PHOTO) Credit: AAPUS President Donald Trump has sued the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department for $US10 billion over the disclosure of his tax returns to the media in 2019 and 2020.
Thursday's lawsuit puts Trump in the unusual position of suing government agencies that are part of the Executive Branch, which he leads.
Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary and acting IRS commissioner, is not a defendant.
Other plaintiffs include Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and the Trump Organisation.
Alejandro Brito, a Florida-based lawyer, filed or helped file all of these lawsuits, as well as the lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department.
