Biden urged to pardon whistleblower jailed for leaking Trump's tax returns

Raw Story  

Outgoing President Joe Biden should grant a pardon to Charles Littlejohn, the IRS contractor sentenced to five years in prison for leaking tax information about President-elect Donald Trump, Rolling Stone's Bob Lord and Kenny Stancil wrote in an impassioned plea in Rolling Stone published on Wednesday. Trump was infamous throughout his first term for keeping his tax returns under wraps, the first major party candidate in decades to do so, despite promises to release them after an "audit" had been completed. The reason Littlejohn's sentence was so harsh, they said, is that several members of Congress wrote to Judge Ana Reyes demanding the book be thrown at him — and Biden should reverse this double standard of justice before Trump takes control of the justice system. Given the outsized role Littlejohn had in exposing Trump’s extreme tax avoidance, including possible IRS audit exposure, he very well could be on Trump’s enemies list."
