Charles Edward Littlejohn, 38, of Washington DC, is accused of stealing the tax return information and giving it to two news outlets between 2018 and 2020.
A former contractor for the Internal Revenue Service has been charged with leaking tax information to news outlets about thousands of the country’s wealthiest people.
The outlets are not named in charging documents, but the description and time frame align with stories about former president Donald Trump’s tax returns in The New York Times and reporting about wealthy Americans’ taxes in the non-profit investigative journalism organisation ProPublica. Six years of his returns were later released by the then-Democratically controlled House Ways and Means Committee.ProPublica reported in 2021 on a trove of tax-return data about the wealthiest Americans. It found the 25 richest people legally pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than many ordinary workers do.
