littlejohn. approximately 89% of the taxpayers are business entities.tlejohn reached a plea agreement with the biden justice department where he pleaded to one count of disclosing tax information without authorization. last year a judge sentenced him to five years in prison. house judiciary that that is not enough. >> now we learn the irs, this charles littlejohn guy went to the irs with a specific goal to get president trump's tax return and release it to left-wing media publication, which is what he did. but he also did it for 405,000 other entities, individuals and businesses. he gets charged with one count! >> that number could grow. the irs is looking into all of this and the breach and expects officials will need to form a relatively small number of additional taxpayers that littlejohn disclosed there will make their information, john periods we went you wonder whate department of justice might do about all of this, sandra. >> sandra: democrats continue with this, doge, some of the protest not as organic has made a claim and reports left-wing orga

attorneys argued that trump's refusal to release his own taxes led littlejohn to leak this data.ted out of a sincere misguided belief he was serving the public interest. in late 2022 house democrats released six years of trump's tax records. littlejohn reached a plea agreement with the biden justice department on one count of disclosing tax return information without authorization. dana. >> dana: rich edson, thank you. >> what is elon musk doing in our data? he should not be plowing through the data of ordinary families. >> what they're doing is outrageous. it is hurting people and i think the people in america are going to hate what they are doing, which is cutting people working hard and doing very needed jobs that help the american people. >> if you could speak directly to elon musk what would you say? >> [bleep]. >> bill: that was all just yesterday, tuesday. choice words from some going after doge as they try to hook donors and fund the party rebrand after their election losses. the cash is not coming in. democratic congressman seth moulton from the commonwealth of massachus

littlejohn. mr. littlejohn was a government contractor.lly thought 70,000 taxpayers were involved but now 400 plus thousand? is this not the case of who we are hiring or what? >> yeah, but is absolutely outrageous again. this is why president trump is doing this to get to the bottom of the agencies and cut out the rot. he is exposing the rot. he is exposing the corruption and tearing it out. that is what we need to, we need to protect the american taxpayer and the american citizens from the criminals on the street committing all of these crimes. that is why i.c.e. mission is so important and exposing the waste, fraud, abuse as trump is doing is so important. that is why people are looking at this as approval rating at an all-time high, mr. president, you are fighting for us. >> kayleigh: on that note about illegal immigrants and another story will "the wall street journal" and president trump but not confirmed by the administration is creating a registry where report information and apply to anyone 14 years and older. it would be pursuant

littlejohn. mr. littlejohn was a government contractor.initially thought 70,000 taxpayers were involved. now 4,400,000 plus? >> it's absolutely outrageous again. this is what president trump is doing to get to the bottom of these agencies to cut out the rot. kayleigh, is he exposing the rot. is he exposing the corruption. and he is tearing it out. that is what we need. refeed to protect the american taxpayer. we need to protect the american citizen from these criminals on the street. criminal illegals committing all of these crimes. that's why ice's mission is so important. that's why exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse as trump is too long is so important. and i think that's why people are looking at this, his approval ratings are at all-time highs they are saying more power to you, mr. president. you are out there fighting for us. >> kayleigh: on that note about illegal legal immigrants and another story, "wall street journal," this was just reported, that the president trump and this has not been confirmed by the administration, is cre

and the irs had originally said that littlejohn, who was a contractor to the irs, had originally takeneople and financial entities and then in a letter to congress, they amended that to 405,000 tax returns that he stole. he was allowed to plead guilty to one count of unauthorized access of a tax return. now he's in jail. but this case has just been absolutely astonishing in its details. >> bret: sabryna, the doge pushback, how do you think politically that plays when they're digging out, you know, waste, fraud and abuse. >> i think what leader jeffries said there are places we can cut waste, fraud and abuse within the government. it's how you do it. you are slowly seeing this fracture within the republican party. senators, members of congress getting more uncomfortable with this unchecked power that elon musk has that he is going after programs that are going to directly effect some of these members of congress' districts. they are hearing it from their constituents. so you are kind of seeing this thread being pulled and unraveling a bit within the party. you know, it remains to be see

you talked about it a little bit earlier but i certainly trust elon musk more than charles littlejohn, who basically from 2008 to 2013 stole thousands of people's irs records and then disclosed those , and ended up maybe five years in jail, so i think elon musk will do a great job. the other thing, one of the earlier reporters talked about this integrated data system and that is access continuously by contractors because it's an old and aged system that really needs to be totally refreshed, so i think that this is a lot about nothing. you talked about when clinton was there he eliminated 10,000 jobs the first week, 380,000 over eight years. liz: the other thing too is, bob, we've got democrats attacking elon musk and doge for auditing the irs for waste and corruption and fraud. the trump white house says they are not downloading at all personal numbers or bank info. they just want to go after the government corruption. what do you make of biden letting thousands of irs contractors who still can, and that's go on for years by the way, before biden, could still access private irs taxpay

statement about that and how unfair and ridiculous it is to target people based on their politics and littlejohn was somebody who worked at the i.r.s., targeted president trump's tax returns. trump organization, and then released them. there was a series of other billionaires and wealthy individuals that he went after as well. that was outlandish and barely covered. i appreciate you bringing that up. look, we're doing exactly what america mandated november 5th. cleaning up waste, fraud and protecting you, the american people, and our money. we pay a lot of taxes. we need that money to be spent wisely. so the fact that we're being stopped by people who are elon musk, donald trump billionaires who know how to run businesses is insane to me. i would love for them to come in and help me make billions or safe billions of dollars and what they are doing for next to nothing for the american people. >> bill: this is one of the main headlines that came out yesterday afternoon on the doge x feed on their website. i don't know where it goes but here is how it reads. treasury access symbol tas links a treas

but one of the mother of all data breach withs at the ricks irs came from a 38-year-old, caleb littlejohneturns illegally. stuart in. stuart: there you have it. hillary, thank you very much. todd, you've got to come into this. i want to know, how do you rate the job that doge is doing so far? >> i think they're doing the best job that can be expected under the circumstances. imagine if if you tried to do your job every day with people trying to obstruct you like seminetty running in -- simonetti running in front of the item fronter. -- teleprompter. [laughter] they're literally trying to keep he and his staff from going into certain buildings. so under the circumstances, i think they're doing the best job that a they can. and 55 million over the first press than a month of the trumped administration is pretty darn good -- stuart: 55 billion. >> did i -- sorry, all the numbers. stuart: don't undercount that. >> if they're at 55 billion now, extrapolate that out, they're going to hit some big numbers. and they could return this money to the american people. i don't know if i love that appro

liz: tax returns for americans were leaked by an irs contractor, charles littlejohn? >> that's right. 40 5,000 tax returns leaked, not just to the public, to pro-publica for political gain. it was to basically inflict political damage on enemies of the left, like donald trump and elon musk and others, and for that, this contractor really kind of just got a slap on the hand. he got one criminal charge, five years plus probation and community service and in fact the left's reaction to that behavior, liz is this was a hero for the public for what he did, and now they are losing their minds when elon musk and doge want to have a little audit of the irs. well let's not forget. donald trump is ahead of the executive branch. elon musk is working at the behest of the executive branch to do his bidding to bring about more accountability, more transparency, specifically to the article ii branch. liz: and you know we've got a new harvard harris poll, a majority of voters six out of 10 are more satisfied with president trump than they were with biden. trump has a 52% approval rat

the 85-year-old received a standing ovation, well-deserved at clemson's littlejohn's coliseum. is back in action after being treated for lymphoma and vocal cord cancer and he supports cancer research and always tries to encourage patients to stay positive and keep fighting . his return on saturday was a new milestone in his 45 year career at espn. >>> the time is 6:27. coming up, president trump has in new orleans for today super bowl while protesters around the country voice objections to some of his policies and , people live in a fire ravaged area of los angeles tried to send a message to real estate speculators. they say their community is not for sale. >>> we are looking at a beautiful sunrise to kick out the morning. it is quiet and cold. you definitely need to grab a warm winter jacket but dress in layers because it will be a beautiful afternoon. did you know using the grocery outlet app gives you the opportunity to win groceries for life? imagine never paying for groceries again. well, what if i can't decide? avocados or tomatoes? why choose? at grocery outlet, you can

and lee littlejohn was just a contractor. elon is a presidential appointee who hasn't stolen or leaked a thing. democrats are worried about security because they're the ones who can't be trusted with it. hillary had a home server in her basement with secrets in it, and when she got caught, acid washed it. elon is not just about cutting the fat. listen, hundreds of federal workers are being promoted daily. every time we encounter excellence, democrats are squealing, trump's going to cut medicaid. but look what we found here. california was caught using medicaid to pay for art and music lessons. oregon was caught using medicaid for cooking classes, air conditioners and mini fridges. doge is saving us all money and democrats are fundraising to stop it. >> i just left a massive citizen meeting that i organized on about 24 hours, 48 hours notice. hundreds of people standing up with one voice to say, we are not going to allow for the billionaires to take over our government. and i need your help right now to stand up and help me bu

and now we learn the irs, this this charles littlejohn guy. he went to the irs as a. >> contractor with a specific. >> goal to get president. trump's tax return. >> and release. >> it to some left. wing media. >> publication. >> which is what. >> he did. but he also did it. >> for 405,000 other entities, individuals and businesses. and he gets charged with one count. one count. it's all the biden garland justice department went. after this guy for. so yeah, you're exactly right as well that when they go after elon musk, oh, he's. >> going to. >> get access. >> to information. >> he shouldn't. are you. >> kidding me? look what they did. >> look what this guy did to the president of the united states. and 405,000 other americans. >> didn't we learn that little old sean hannity, just a little talk show host that i am, that my personal information was gone through? didn't they suppress my social media accounts? didn't thousands of my personal text messages get released? do i not have privacy as a as a member of the press? nobody seemed to care whe
