IRS admits anti-Trump taxman leaked data on 405K filers — six times more than previously known
Story by Steven Nelson • 15h

WASHINGTON — A former Internal Revenue Service contractor who leaked President Trump’s tax returns to two media outlets also disclosed information about more than 405,000 other filers, the agency revealed to the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month.

The IRS previously said Charles Edward Littlejohn, 39, had exposed information on “more than 70,000” people and businesses in 2019 and 2020 when he provided ProPublica and the New York Times with copies of Trump’s tax returns.

Littlejohn is serving a five-year federal prison term in Florida after pleading guilty to the leaks and being sentenced in January 2024.
 

The IRS didn’t provide a reason for the dramatic leap in the number of affected taxpayers, but said it had mailed letters informing the victims.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Let's try lack of oversight.  And incompetence.
