President Donald Trump did something so brazen, so shameless, so stunning this week that it will stand out in history even in a presidential term drowning in self-dealing. This latest act deploys Trump’s favorite financial weapon — the bogus lawsuit — but in a way no one even contemplated before.
Trump is demanding $10 billion in taxpayer money, paid directly to him and his sons, because a few years ago, the public got a look at the tax returns he should have let us see in the first place.
What’s outrageous is that Trump will probably get it.
Trump is also seeking millions in “compensation” for the investigations into his misconduct in his first term.
This is not his first such lawsuit; Trump is also seeking millions in “compensation” for the investigations into his misconduct in his first term, about which he said that because he’s president, “I’m paying myself.” But this new suit is on a different scale.
This story begins in 2020, when a federal contractor working with the Internal Revenue Service leaked Trump’s tax returns to The New York Times. Among the revelations was that Trump paid only $750 in federal taxes in 2020.
