Chris Hayes now: Trump Sues Govt., Seeks $10 Billion IRS Lawsuit

Turn it on to find out all the mindblowing details. Unsurprisingly, trump's Justice Dept. is "weighing" settling this. Bottom line, it will come from taxpayers. And his JD will be in charge of the settlement.

Much, much more attention needs to be paid to this so good for Chris!

$10 B = 10,000 Millionaires
10,000/365 days in a year => 27 years

How does someone whose wealth is $6 B claiming damages of $10 B ???

If he wants to give the money to charity, how about paying off the medical debt for those currently going into bankruptcy because of medical bills?

Democrat Party to Democratic Party. Otherwise the ReTHUG sounded saner than his peers.
