Donald Trump settled his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for the unauthorized disclosure of his tax records by former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn. Littlejohn was sentenced to 5 years in prison. As part of the settlement, the DOJ agreed to end IRS audits targeting Trump and his family. The breach initiated by Littlejohn, an independent contractor working for consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, exposed confidential records for thousands of the nation's wealthiest individuals, including Trump. Key Details of the Controversy & Settlement: The Leaks: In 2019, Littlejohn utilized his security access to extract 15 years of Trump’s tax records, which he leaked to news organizations like The New York Times and ProPublica. Contractor Sentencing: Littlejohn pleaded guilty to the disclosures and was sentenced to the maximum five years in federal prison in early 2024. Trump’s Lawsuit: In January, Trump and the Trump Organization filed a $10 billion lawsuit in Florida federal court, accusing the government of willful negligence in protecting their tax data. Resolution: The DOJ established a settlement that effectively dismissed the lawsuit and banned the IRS from taking future punitive action against Trump or his family regarding those past tax returns. can someone refresh my memory about what the IRS did wrong aside from letting an independent contractor having access to shit? did this happen during the Trump 1.0 or the Biden admin? why does Trump pay so little in taxes in relation to his supposed income? g r i f t e r . . .
