Prosecutors from the Department of Justice said that she paid college admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer $9,000 so that an employee of his would take four online classes for her son at Georgetown and Arizona State University in 2017 through April 2018.
The federal indictment says that her son used credits that were improperly obtained to graduate from Georgetown in May 2018. James Littlefair’s LinkedIn profile shows he attended Georgetown from 2012 to 2016.
The U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts is recommending Karen Littlefair serve four months in prison, pay a fine of $9,500 and serve 12 months of supervised release.
James Littlefair worked as part of the national advance team on the Trump campaign before working as an event coordinator for the Presidential Inaugural Committee. He joined Treasury as an advance staffer in March 2017.
