Ex-IRS contractor who leaked Trump tax records sentenced to 5 years in prison

Revenue Service (IRS) who leaked tax records, including those of former President Donald Trump, to The New York Times and billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to ProPublica, was sentenced to five years in prison.

Littlejohn had previously pleaded guilty in October, and federal prosecutors had sought the maximum statutory penalty, citing his misuse of his position to unlawfully disclose thousands of Americans’ federal tax returns and private financial information to multiple news organizations.

Prosecutors argued that Littlejohn had exploited his access to unmasked taxpayer data to advance his personal and political agenda, operating under the belief that he was exempt from legal consequences, NBC News reported.
