Leaker of Trump's Tax Returns Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison, Judge Cites 'an Intolerable Attack on Our Democracy'
  • 3 months ago
Former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn was sentenced to 5 years in prison for leaking Donald Trump's tax returns in 2019. Prosecutors said Littlejohn specifically sought his job at an IRS consulting firm to gain access to private tax info and leak Trump's returns. They argued he viewed Trump as a threat to democracy and wanted to expose his returns despite Trump having no legal obligation to do so. The judge condemned Littlejohn's actions, saying the leak was "an intolerable attack on our constitutional democracy."
