Axios reports:

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is suing Booz Allen Hamilton in federal court after his tax returns were leaked along with those of other wealthy Americans, including President Trump and Elon Musk.

Why it matters: The tech and management consulting firm is already facing retribution from the Trump administration, which cancelled all of its contracts with the Treasury Department in January.

  • Charles Littlejohn, who performed IRS contract work through Booz Allen, pleaded guilty to unauthorized disclosure of tax information in 2023 and was sentenced to five years in prison.
  • His leaks were linked to a bombshell New York Times story in 2020 on Trump’s tax payments, as well as a ProPublica report in 2021 about a cache of tax documents from Musk, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg and others.
