House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is opening a new investigation into how the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) handled its prosecution of an IRS contractor who was convicted of leaking former President Donald Trump’s tax records.

In September 2023, the DOJ filed a criminal information letter with the U.S. District Court for Washington, alleging that Charles Littlejohn gathered the tax records of thousands of wealthy U.S. citizens while working for Booz Allen Hamilton, a company contracted with the IRS.
