The video above shows Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, talking about the suspect accused of stealing and leaking Trump's tax returns. She wanted him to be made into an example, but suspected he may not get the full force of the law thrown at him. However, that man was sentenced to five years in prison according to WBALTV:
In October, Charles Littlejohn, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns. According to his plea agreement, he stole Trump's tax returns along with the tax data of "thousands of the nation's wealthiest people," while working for a consulting firm with contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.
Littlejohn leaked the information to two news outlets and deleted the documents from his IRS-assigned laptop before returning it and covered the rest of his digital tracks by deleting places where he initially stored the information.
Judge Ana Reyes highlighted the gravity of the crime, saying multiple times that it amounted to an attack against the U.S. and its legal foundation.
"What you did in attacking the sitting president of the United States was an attack on our constitutional democracy," Reyes said. "We're talking about someone who … pulled off the biggest heist in IRS history."
