BESSENT: IF TRUMP WINS IRS SUIT, $10B WOULD COME FROM TAXPAYERS

by


Factcheck:
When someone sues a federal agency (like the IRS or Treasury) and wins money damages, the payout does not come from the IRS’s own budget.
It comes from a federal account called the Judgment Fund.

And the Judgment Fund is funded by general federal revenue which ultimately comes from taxpayers.

So the legal mechanism behind the claim is real.
