A prominent lawyer, well-known for his involvement in high-profile cases and his role in co-founding the renowned Supreme Court news and analysis platform SCOTUSblog, is facing federal tax evasion charges. Tom Goldstein, the attorney in question, allegedly failed to report millions of dollars obtained through high-stakes poker matches, according to federal prosecutors. Moreover, he stands accused of utilizing his previous law firm’s resources to settle gambling debts.

The Department of Justice has leveled serious allegations against Goldstein in a 22-count indictment filed in the District of Maryland last week. It is claimed that between 2016 and 2022, Goldstein orchestrated a scheme to evade tax assessments, submitted false tax returns, and neglected to fulfill his tax responsibilities promptly.

Aged 54, Goldstein has been a key figure in over 40 cases presented before the Supreme Court, notably including the contentious legal battle over the 2000 presidential election involving his client Al Gore and George W. Bush. Alongside his spouse Amy Howe, he established SCOTUSblog back in 2002. In 2023, Goldstein announced his retirement and parted ways with his former firm, Goldstein & Russell P.C.
