President Donald Trump moved Monday to dismiss his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the leak of his tax returns by a government contractor.
A filing in federal court in Florida, where the case was brought last year, confirmed Trump’s bid to withdraw the lawsuit, according to the Associated Press. The filing did not disclose whether any agreement had been reached with the IRS or outline any terms of a potential settlement.
The news agency noted the move comes days after ABC News reported that Trump was prepared to abandon the lawsuit as part of a deal establishing a $1.7 billion fund for associates who believe they were wrongly investigated or prosecuted during the Biden administration.
Trump has repeatedly argued the justice system was weaponised against him and his allies following investigations tied to the 2020 election and classified documents retained at Mar-a-Lago.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
