A few facts about Trump's latest shakedown of American taxpayers...
Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns by former contractor Charles Littlejohn is misguided and wasteful...
The suit demands compensation from federal funds, directly burdening American taxpayers with an exorbitant claim for harms already litigated indirectly.
Littlejohn pleaded guilty and served a five-year sentence, meaning the government has addressed the breach criminally.
Trump is sueing in his personal capacity while overseeing the agencies as president, creating an inherent conflict where his own Justice Department would defend or settle the case.
Courts previously dismissed his efforts to block tax disclosures, signaling judicial reluctance to entertain politically timed claims lacking novel merit.
Littlejohn leaked returns from thousands, including billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, yet Trump singles out his own for massive damages.
