Rick Scott sues contractor over leaked tax returns

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Sen. Rick Scott is suing a major government contractor for damages after his tax returns were leaked along with other prominent and wealthy figures, including President Donald Trump.

The Florida Republican on Monday filed a lawsuit against Booz Allen Hamilton, a management and technology consulting company, and a former employee of the contractor who was convicted of leaking the tax returns of Trump and other wealthy individuals to The New York Times and ProPublica.

“I am disgusted by the weaponization of government under President [Joe] 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 about the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed in the Middle District of Florida and comes almost two months after Trump filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service for $10 billion. That lawsuit did not target Booz Allen or Charles Littlejohn — who was sentenced to five years in prison in 2024. But the Treasury Department canceled contracts with the company in January — a situation that Scott’s lawsuit said proved that the company was culpable.

Good morning, Senator Pedo Protector,
I read you quote on X about your disgust regarding the weaponization of government under President [Joe] Biden and your suit against a government contractor for unlawfully releasing (your) tax return. When can I expect your lawsuit and/or impeachment articles against Pam Bondi for unlawfully releasing the redacted names of Epstein victims. Isn't that, too, weaponization of government? Aren’t you equally disgusted? No? You think supporting a pedophile and his enablers is okay, but the harm you have suffered from the release of your tax returns is intolerable? Or are you hypocritically following President Pedo’s lead in continuous pursuit of money? Let me guess?

Senator Scott doesn't recall AND pleads the fifth. (Not the fifth like his mamma drank every night from the time of his conception 'til his birth.)

You wouldn’t know weaponization of government if it walked up and taint punted you.

You had your mother in your propaganda regarding political commercials.
She kept saying "He's a good boy" "He's a good boy" "He's a good boy"
Yes ..day in and day out, we had to hear that irritating nonsense.
Yep..She said it 471 times...Not kidding 471 times.."He's a good boy"
You're NOT a good boy....You're a bad, bad dog!
