May 18, 2026 • Google News World
Former President Donald Trump has dropped a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) worth $10 billion, according to reports from various news outlets.
The lawsuit was filed by Trump’s lawyers in response to the release of his tax records. The IRS had released the records as part of an ongoing investigation into Trump’s financial dealings.
In addition to dropping the lawsuit, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced the creation of a new fund worth $1.776 billion to support allies of the former president.
The DOJ stated that the fund is intended to provide financial assistance to individuals and organizations who have been targeted by the government or faced persecution due to their association with Trump.
Trump’s decision to drop the lawsuit comes as he has shifted his focus away from his legal issues and towards his post-presidency activities. The exact terms of the settlement are not publicly known, but sources close to the matter have confirmed that it was reached after negotiations between Trump’s lawyers and the IRS.
The creation of the new fund is seen as a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding Trump’s financial dealings and his efforts to protect himself from legal repercussions.
