Charles Littlejohn

Charles Littlejohn is a former contractor for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He is newsworthy due to his alleged act of leaking former President Donald Trump's tax returns to the press. This leak was the basis for a $10 billion lawsuit filed by Trump against the IRS. Recently, Trump has moved to dismiss this lawsuit, reportedly considering a settlement that would establish a $1.7 billion fund. This fund is intended to compensate Trump's allies for alleged government persecution. The legal experts' analysis of Trump's lawsuit described it as "unprecedented" because a sitting president sought damages from an agency he controlled. The withdrawal of the lawsuit and the establishment of the new fund have drawn criticism from Democrats and government watchdog groups, highlighting ongoing political and legal ramifications surrounding the incident.
