# Florida Judge Allows Scott to Amend Claims

A federal judge in Florida allowed Sen. Rick Scott to amend his complaint against Booz Allen Hamilton and former employee Charles Littlejohn, including dropping repeat claims to avoid parallel litigation. The case concerns Littlejohn’s alleged leak of private tax returns to ProPublica. No procurement action, contract award, solicitation, or change to a government contract was reported; the development is relevant to contractors because it raises legal and reputational issues tied to the handling of sensitive information.

- The allegations concern a former employee’s handling and disclosure of private tax information; the signal does not establish a finding of liability.
- Government buyers and contractors may consider the case as context for evaluating sensitive-data safeguards and contractor risk, without treating the allegations as a procurement decision or outcome.
- No specific contract opportunity, value, deadline, or procurement contact is identified.
