“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said he had cancelled all Treasury Department contracts with the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, one of whose employees leaked the tax records of President Donald Trump, and the billionaires Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, to media outlets. Booz Allen Hamilton’s stock price dropped by 8% on the heels of the Treasury Department’s announcement. The department said it currently has 31 separate contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton, totaling $4.8 million in annual spending and $21 million in total obligations. … The department noted that between 2018 and 2020, Booz Allen employee Charles Edward Littlejohn ‘stole and leaked the confidential tax returns and return information of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers.’ The data breach affected about 406,000 taxpayers, according to the IRS. Littlejohn, 40, pleaded guilty in October 2023 to one count of disclosure of tax return information.” (01/26/26)
