- In October 2023, Charles Littlejohn pleaded guilty to unlawfully accessing and disclosing Americans’ tax returns.
- Littlejohn’s identification as the perpetrator of this crime was the result of a multi-year government investigation in which Booz Allen’s cooperation led to his conviction and incarceration.
- Littlejohn was sentenced to five years in prison for this crime, which he later appealed.
- Booz Allen filed an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief supporting the government against Littlejohn’s appeal and advocating for a longer sentence.
- Littlejohn’s actions abused the staff-like access the IRS provided him for self-serving gain.
- Littlejohn exploited IRS security protocols, which Booz Allen had no ability to monitor.
- Littlejohn’s criminal activity harmed President Trump, thousands of Americans, and Booz Allen.
- Booz Allen strongly opposed his sentencing appeal.
- Littlejohn deserved the maximum possible sentence for his crimes.
- Littlejohn could have been charged with several criminal counts, and the five-year maximum sentence did not reflect the seriousness of his crimes.
