DOJ leaker caught, pleads guilty to outing cooperating witnesses in drug case

Just The News: A former Justice Department contractor in Iowa pleaded guilty Friday to accessing and leaking the names of witnesses cooperating in a drug-trafficking investigation.

Danielle Taff, 37, of Ankeny, Iowa, worked as a contract paralegal at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Des Moines between June 2017 and June 2018. She pleaded guilty to one count of fraud and related activity in connection with computers. A sentencing date was not set.

Prosecutors said that while employed as a paralegal, Taff was assigned to the office’s civil division, where she worked exclusively on matters related to civil forfeiture and was neither required nor authorized to access files and information related to criminal cases.  read more
