Donald Trump and his family have sued the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury department for at least $10bn over the leak of tax returns, in a move that pits the US president against his own government.
The lawsuit brought by Trump, his two older sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric, and the Trump Organization, stems from the disclosure of tax documents that former IRS contractor and Booz Allen Hamilton employee Charles Littlejohn leaked to the New York Times, ProPublica and other organisations in 2019 and 2020.

In 2020, the New York Times reported that in 2016, the year he was elected president, Trump paid $750 in federal income tax and that he had paid no income tax at all in 10 of the prior 15 years after he reported losses that exceeded his earnings.

no mention of taxes paid by the companies he apparently runs

Well, at least one person's going to get a big tax refund.

Can the sitting president even receive a payout from executive branch agencies?

It’s his own employees who have to argue against him.
