3 Rick Scott sues Booz Allen Hamilton over leaked tax return

The lawsuit comes after President Donald Trump sued the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department two months ago for their roles in the leak, which targeted multiple notable wealthy people, including Elon Musk.

Scott claimed former Booz Allen employee Charles Littlejohn only had access to the tax records because of the firm's contracts with the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service and is seeking compensatory damages for loss of privacy and economic losses, according to Politico.

"I am disgusted by the weaponization of government under President Biden, and I look forward to Booz Allen being held accountable for its reckless failure to prevent its employee from unlawfully releasing the tax returns of thousands of people, including me and President Trump," Scott posted on X.

The Treasury Department also canceled its contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton in January, alleging that it failed to "implement adequate safeguards to protect sensitive data, including confidential taxpayer information."

6 Any time I've ever seen a picture of Clapper, he just looks totally flabbergasted. Maybe it's just my imagination but it kinda gives the impression that Brennan was leading him around by the nose and now he has to answer questions about it he doesn't know what to say.
