Donald Trump's corruption may finally lead to his downfall, following a series of scandals that have marked the president's administration. The article suggests that the most corrupt presidency in American history is being called among the most transparent regimes on earth. The story began in Trump's first term when Charles Edward Littlejohn, a worker for Booz Allen Hamilton under contract with the IRS, leaked confidential tax information about wealthy individuals, including Trump, to ProPublica and The New York Times. Littlejohn was found guilty and prosecuted by the Justice Department under Joe Biden. In 2026, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that it was terminating all contracts with BoozAllen Hamilton totaling $21 million for failure to safeguard taxpayer information. Three days later, Trump and his sons sued the IRS for $10 billion, alleging that the leak had caused them “reputational and financial harm” and “public embarrassment” The financial harm claim is risible, amounting to two-thirds of the IRS’s annual budget and about 1,000 times more than the largest payout in the history of the Federal Tort Claims Act.
