As liberals whine and sue to block DOGE from accessing obtaining government department records, a damning report released today has exposed that the Biden regime exposed hundreds of thousands of Americans to potential fraud and identity theft, including President Trump.
The House Judiciary Committee released a new disclosure today that revealed the IRS under Joe Biden leaked taxpayer records of over 400,000 innocent Americans. The committee notes that Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) launched an investigation into information leaks last year.
The committee also reveals that in May 2024, an IRS spokesman attempted to downplay a leak that exposed this information. This turned out to be at least a partial cover-up.
“New disclosure reveals that the Biden IRS leaked taxpayer information of over 405,000 Americans — including President Trump’s. The IRS’s admission confirms the Committee’s suspicion and recent reports that show the scope of the leak was much broader than what the Biden Administration’s IRS initially led the public to believe,” the post reads.
“In May 2024, an IRS spokesman stated that “[m]ore than 70,000” taxpayers were affected. We found out that it’s actually over 405,000 taxpayers! This is a MASSIVE scandal. Jim Jordan first launched his inquiry into these leaks last year.”

While this news is infuriating, it should come as no surprise to TGP readers.
TGP readers may recognize the name Littlejohn. As previously reported, an IRS contractor named Charles Littlejohn was charged with leaking President Trump’s tax information back in 2023. This came just months after corrupt Democrats in the House destroyed President Trump’s right to privacy and released six years of his tax returns.
Musk responded to today’s news by asking just one question:
“Do you trust the government?” he wrote.

IRS admits anti-Trump taxman leaked data on 405K filers — six times more than previously known
WASHINGTON — A former Internal Revenue Service contractor who leaked President Trump’s tax returns to two media outlets also disclosed information about more than 405,000 other filers, the agency revealed to the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month.
The IRS previously said Charles Edward Littlejohn, 39, had exposed information on “more than 70,000” people and businesses in 2019 and 2020 when he provided ProPublica and the New York Times with copies of Trump’s tax returns.
Littlejohn is serving a five-year federal prison term in Florida after pleading guilty to the leaks and being sentenced in January 2024.
The IRS didn’t provide a reason for the dramatic leap in the number of affected taxpayers, but said it had mailed letters informing the victims.
“Relying on data analysis by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) and the IRS, the IRS mailed notifications to 405,427 taxpayers whose taxpayer information was inappropriately disclosed by Mr. Littlejohn,” the IRS wrote in a Feb. 14 letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
“Approximately 89% of the taxpayers are business entities.”
Jordan chairs a subcommittee focused on the alleged political weaponization of the federal government, including actions by the Justice Department.
The news outlets that received Littlejohn’s leaks ran dozens of articles, including on the tax filings of billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
Supporters of the leaker describe him as a “hero” who gave a behind-the-scenes peek at how wealthy Americans reduce their tax bills, while critics slammed him for undermining public confidence in the privacy of tax filings and the apolitical administration of the IRS.
Prosecutors said Littlejohn’s prison sentence should serve as a “strong message” to others who have privileged access to tax records.
A Justice Department press release said the contractor was able to escape detection because he “uploaded the tax returns to a private website in order to avoid IRS protocols established to detect and prevent large downloads or uploads from IRS devices or systems.”

Reverse migration: Venezuelans head back toward South America after US dreams dashed
GARDI SUGDUB ISLAND, Panama (Reuters) – Dozens of Venezuelan migrants boarded small boats on an island off the Caribbean coast of Panama on Monday, setting off towards Colombia by sea as part of a reverse migration of families who have given up trying to reach the United States.
At least six boats, each with more than a dozen people aboard, departed the island of Gardi Sugdub in the San Blas Archipelago off the coast of Panama, aiming to reach Playa Miel near the Colombian border. From there, the migrants explained that they planned to continue their southbound journey until arriving home in their native Venezuela.
Fabiola Rodriguez, a Venezuelan migrant who reached Mexico but was unable to enter the United States, was among dozens who waited to board the small boats over the weekend.
She said that a lack of clarity from Panamanian officials about repatriation options forced her and others to make their way home on their own, despite the costs and the dangers.
A Venezuelan girl died over the weekend, after one of these boats shipwrecked with more than a dozen migrants on board, according to Panamanian authorities.
Daniel Gonzalez, a Venezuelan man traveling with his wife, daughter, and niece, said that they would rather be in Venezuela than in another country in the region, such as Mexico or Costa Rica. On Sunday, he and his family waited at the port of Niga Kantule for a boat that would take them to Gardi Sugdub island.
“Of course, we wanted to reach the United States to have a better life,” he said. “But that wasn’t possible.”
The reverse migration follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on unlawful migration, including a broad ban on asylum in addition to the elimination of his predecessor’s humanitarian parole programs, which had offered some migrants legal pathways to enter the United States.
