President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, and is seeking $10 billion in damages.
Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020.
OMG! The good news just keeps coming and coming
“On September 24, 2025, federal judge Ana C. Reyes ruled that the administration unlawfully fired 17 inspectors general, but refused to reinstate them, noting that Trump could simply re-fire them after providing the congressionally mandated 30 days’ notice.”
That’s not new, he’s getting sued by a handful of them.
Didn’t you read the part about the judge refusing to reinstate them?
So you still believe the people that decide settlements for IRS are independent of the administration even though Trump can just fire them at will… That’s why everyone laughed at you. Now I feel stupid for providing arguments. I should have just laughed as well.
The judge didn’t refuse to reinstate them they ordered the white house to and the white house refused, that’s why they’re being sued.
Wrong:

“A federal judge found President Donald Trump unlawfully fired several agency watchdogs early in his second term, but won’t reinstate them to their government oversight jobs.”
"Reinstatement would also be challenging, because the Senate has begun confirming some of their successors.
In August, the Senate confirmed Cheryl Mason as the permanent IG for the Department of Veterans Affairs — replacing Michael Missal, the previous VA inspector general and one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Other agency watchdog offices continue to operate with acting IGs."
Maybe the will appeal to the Supreme Court. This one is still independent, right??
The judge can’t, it’s not that they won’t. It’s portrayed in the media as refusal but if you actually read what’s in pacer you’ll find out that’s not the case.
Yeah that doesn’t change the fact they were removed illegally nor does it have anything to do with the judge being a factor.
They don’t need to at this point and it would behoove them to wait as long as possible because back pay is from the time of notice, the judge is technically just helping them make a case for far more backpay.
That’s all great but you do realize that those fired inspectors don’t make any decisions now?That the newly confirmed guy that Trump chose is making the decisions now? Like, you still live in some parallel world where laws mean something while in the real world Trump is making illegal decisions every day and everyone obeys them. I bet once he gets the $10B from IRS settlement you will still claim that the money are not really his.
