The man who stole and leaked former President Donald Trump and thousands of other’s tax records has been sentenced to five years in prison.
In October, Charles Littlejohn, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns. According to his plea agreement, he stole Trump’s tax returns along with the tax data of “thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people,” while working for a consulting firm with contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.
Littlejohn leaked the information to two news outlets and deleted the documents from his IRS-assigned laptop before returning it and covered the rest of his digital tracks by deleting places where he initially stored the information.
Judge Ana Reyes highlighted the gravity of the crime, saying multiple times that it amounted to an attack against the US and its legal foundation.
So who’s donating to his commissary? I’d be willing to throw a 20 every now and then.
Got a link?
To donate directly to his prison commissary, the basic instructions are at the bottom of this page here

However each of those methods is going to require getting a match on the inmate locator, and since he isn’t actually incarcerated yet there aren’t any matching results
One other thing I found, though I have no way of knowing if it’s legit - https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.gofundme.com/f/charles-littlejohns-legal-defense-fund
(title is legal defense, but text says “defray his legal fees and expenses during incarceration.”)
Looks like he’s still fighting the sentence and his friends set up a gofund me to help pay his legal fees. Should anyone be interested in showing him some support outside of the commissary.
