A former IRS contractor who pleaded guilty to leaking tax documents belonging to former President Donald Trump and other wealthy Americans was sentenced Monday to five years in prison and ordered to pay a fine of $5,000.
Charles Littlejohn pleaded guilty in October to one count of taking tax return information without authorization.
