Hints, whispers, and the timeline of events point towards significant leaks: former President Donald Trump's tax details to The New York Times and the financial revelations about America's ultra-rich to ProPublica. As the dots connect, the picture becomes eerily familiar.

Citing the vast sea of potential victims, the government requested the court's approval to utilize a U.S. Department of Justice website as a beacon to notify the aggrieved parties about ongoing court proceedings. Littlejohn, though cornered, did not oppose this modern-day solution.
