Judge sentences Littlejohn to five years — the maximum — for leaking Trump's and billionaires' tax records

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes sentenced Charles Littlejohn to 60 months in federal prison on January 29, 2024 — the statutory maximum for his single-count guilty plea — for stealing and leaking the tax records of Donald Trump and approximately 405,000 Americans. Judge Reyes stated that Littlejohn actions struck at the heart of democracy by allowing one person to weaponize confidential government data. Trump legal team and congressional Republicans cited the conviction and sentence as justification for civil damages against the IRS and Treasury for failing to prevent the breach.
