**[Trump Sues IRS for $10 Billion, Promises to "Donate Entire Compensation"]**
Golden Finance reports that Trump has stated he will donate any compensation obtained from the $10 billion lawsuit against the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS entirely to charity. The lawsuit stems from the illegal leak of his tax returns to the media during his first term.
In an interview with NBC News, Trump said: "Any money I win will be 100% donated to charitable organizations, which will be approved by the government or other entities." Trump suggested the American Cancer Society as a potential beneficiary and described the arrangement as "giving back to the system."
He dismissed concerns that this move would increase the deficit, insisting that such fines or settlements would not remove funds from the system, as the government itself already funds charitable causes. The case centers on The New York Times' 2020 report on Trump's tax records based on leaked IRS data. Former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn admitted in 2023 to stealing the president's tax data and leaking it. Additionally, he stole records of thousands of wealthy individuals, including Ken Griffin, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos. (Jin10)
