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. A former IRS contractor, Charles Littlejohn, was sentenced to five years in prison in 2024 after he pleaded guilty the year before to leaking Trump’s tax records to The New York Times. The New York Times reported in October that Trump was seeking $230 million in damages from the Justice Department. He also sued The New York Times and three of its reporters for defamation over coverage of his 2024 campaign, seeking $15 billion.
