Littlejohn performed a public service. A presidential tax return contains information highly relevant to the voting public, and President Trump broke decades of tradition by refusing to disclose his returns. Moreover, when President Nixon’s tax return was leaked in the 1970s, the IRS leaker was not even indicted.

Littlejohn followed up, according to the Justice Department complaint, by stealing tax information for thousands of ultra-wealthy individuals, uploading it to a private website, and providing it to “News Organization 2,” where it became the source of nearly 50 articles.

CNN reported that Littlejohn, who must turn himself in by April 30, said he “acted out of a sincere misguided belief” and “aware of the potential consequences” when speaking to the court on Monday.

“I made my decision with the full knowledge that I would likely end up in a courtroom,” Littlejohn reportedly said.
