The Department of Justice made an important announcement on Friday regarding charges against a consultant working for the IRS in Washington, D.C. This consultant, Charles Littlejohn, has been accused of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. It seems that he is on track to plead guilty to this charge.

The criminal information states that while working as a government contractor at the IRS, Littlejohn took information related to a highly influential government official, whose identity remains undisclosed, and shared it with a news organization.

Additionally, Littlejohn is accused of stealing tax information from thousands of the wealthiest individuals in the nation, which he then disclosed to another news organization. According to ABC News, the unnamed high-ranking government official is widely believed to be former President Donald Trump.

The second set of alleged disclosures made by Littlejohn pertained to a report by ProPublica, published in 2021, which shed light on the minimal income tax payments of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, and Jeff Bezos relative to their substantial wealth.

Should Littlejohn decide to plead guilty to the charges against him, he could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison. As of now, it appears that he does not have a defense attorney listed on his court docket in D.C. on Friday afternoon.
