Judge questions constitutionality of Trump's $10B IRS lawsuit

A Florida federal judge, Kathleen M. Williams, questioned the constitutionality of President Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department over the leak of his tax returns, ordering a hearing to determine whether Trump can sue federal agencies he oversees. Williams flagged the odd dynamic of the sitting president suing the executive branch and asked for more details on the parties’ relationship, even as Trump’s lawyers negotiate with the agencies (seeking a 90‑day extension). The suit, filed in January by Trump and his sons, alleges the government failed to protect confidential tax information and points to an IRS contractor who leaked the returns; if a monetary settlement is reached, it would be paid by the Trump administration.
