Litigation & Enforcement: 

• Senator Scott Sues Over Leaked Tax Returns: In a lawsuit filed in Federal Court in Florida, Senator Rick Scott of Florida sued Booz Allen Hamilton and one of its employees over alleged “unlawful access, theft and public dissemination of confidential tax information,” both his and “more than four hundred thousand” others. Senator Scott claims that the employee used his credentials at Booz Allen to steal hundreds of thousands of tax records and disclose them, including to media outlets. The complaint alleges claims of negligence, vicarious liability, and invasion of privacy against Booz Allen, and invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress against the employee.
