A Louisiana man pleaded guilty on Monday to using President Trump’s Social Security number in a failed attempt to access his federal tax information during the 2016 presidential race.
Jordan Hamlett, 32, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, The Associated Press reported.
Prosecutors said Hamlett, who works as a private investigator, was acting a “white hat” hacker who sought to access Trump’s tax returns through an Education Department financial aid website.
