Washington: US federal prosectors have charged a man for allegedly leaking the tax returns of a “high-ranking government official” who is understood to be former President Donald Trump, media reports said.
The prosecutors on Friday charged Charles Edward Littlejohn, the 38-year-old man worked with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from 2018 to 2020, who allegedly stole “tax returns and return information associated with Public Official A” and disclosed that information to a news organisation, CNN reported citing court documents.
Although the official is not named in court documents, a source told CNN the tax returns in question were Trump’s.
In addition to the former President’s tax documents, Littlejohn is also accused of stealing IRS information on “thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people, including returns and return information dating back more than 15 years”, the documents said.
