Investigators said he obtained the tax information and gave it to news organizations.
Washington — A former IRS contractor who was charged with illegally disclosing the tax return information of former President Donald Trump and thousands of wealthy Americans pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of disclosing tax return information. Charles Littlejohn was charged on criminal information last month after investigators said he obtained the tax records and gave them to news organizations.
' Reyes told Littlejohn the law shielding tax records from public view that he admitted he violated dated back to the Nixon administration's improper use of the tax records of then-President Richard Nixon's political opponents. 'When we have people who for whatever reason take the law into their own hands, society doesn't function properly,' the judge also warned.
