Former IRS employee Charles Littlejohn was sentenced Monday to five years in prison after leaking former President Donald Trump's tax records, according to NBC News.
Littlejohn was loaded in September 2023 with one count of disclosure of information from a tax return for a government official, and he he pleaded guilty in October of leaks 10 Years of Trump's Tax Records in The New York Times. U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes sentenced Littlejohn to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, seconds on NBC News.
“You can be a prominent person and commit bad acts,” Reyes told the former IRS employee, according to NBC News. “What you did in attacking the sitting president of the United States was an attack on our constitutional democracy.”
Littlejohn told the court before Reyes sentenced him that he “acted out of a sincere but misguided belief that he was serving the public,” and his attorney argued that his client had only acted “out of a deep and moral belief that the American people had a right to know the information” and felt it necessary to share it, according to NBC News.
Littlejohn also released to ProPublica the tax records of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and billionaire Jeff Bezos, according to NBC News.
