Senate Democrats are moving to block President Donald Trump from benefiting from his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Treasury Department. They have introduced a bill that would seize any payout he might receive from the government over the handling of his leaked tax returns.
Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) introduced a measure called the Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act on Tuesday that would prevent Trump from receiving a settlement payment from the IRS if he wins his lawsuit, according to a press release.
Trump filed the lawsuit on January 29 in Florida, naming himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization as plaintiffs. He is accusing the IRS and the Treasury Department of failing to stop former contractor Charles Littlejohn from accessing and leaking his confidential tax returns.
Littlejohn admitted to pulling the president’s tax records, along with others belonging to wealthy individuals, and gave them to news outlets such as The New York Times and Propublica between 2018 and 2020.
