"Ex-IRS Contractor Receives 5-Year Sentence for Leaking Trump Tax Records"

Charles Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor, has been sentenced to five years in prison for leaking tax records of former President Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk to news organizations. The judge described his actions as an attack on constitutional democracy and compared them to recent threats against elected officials. Littlejohn's attorney argued that he acted out of a moral belief that the public had a right to know the information, but the judge emphasized that he had breached the trust placed in him by the government and violated the privacy of thousands of taxpayers.
