A 38-year-old former contractor for the US tax authority IRS is to go to prison. He breached the tax data of then US President Donald Trump between 2018 and 2020.
The man pleaded guilty to passing on tax data for Trump and other super-rich people such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett to two US media companies in his role as an adviser to the IRS. Court documents show how he deliberately disguised his search queries in the US Treasury system in order to obtain the desired information.
