Tom Goldstein, a prominent attorney known for his role as publisher of SCOTUSblog, has been indicted on multiple tax-related charges. The indictment was announced by the U.S. Department of Justice and includes allegations of willful failure to file tax returns for several years. According to the indictment, Goldstein failed to report substantial income between 2012 and 2015, totaling over $1 million. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Chen stated, “Everyone is required to pay taxes on their income, and those who choose to evade this responsibility will be held accountable.” Goldstein, who has argued cases before the Supreme Court, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted. His attorney has announced plans to fight the charges vigorously, claiming that Goldstein acted in good faith and believed he was compliant with tax laws. This case highlights ongoing concerns over tax compliance among high-profile legal professionals. The U.S. Supreme Court has not yet commented on the situation, although it is anticipated that Goldstein’s legal troubles may attract significant media attention in the coming weeks.
