Where’s Trump’s Financial Disclosure? The White House Blames the Pandemic - The New York Times

The annual report was due last week under federal ethics rules, but the White House says it needs more time.

President Trump’s annual financial disclosure report was due to be released more than a week ago.

But the filing, the only official public document detailing his personal finances, was not published, and neither the White House nor federal ethics officials offered a public explanation.

The report, required under federal ethics rules, provides a partial view of the president’s assets and debts and the performance of his family business.

Last week’s deadline passed without any word from the White House or the Office of Government Ethics, beyond the release of a separate disclosure report by Vice President Mike Pence.

The delay follows conversations between ethics officials and representatives for Mr.

The president’s disclosure is treated differently than the disclosures of most other federal officials, including with feedback from the ethics office that can result in modifications to the final public report.

Officials from the Office of Government Ethics declined to comment, saying they do not speak about individual filers.

Trump has never done so, breaking with recent presidential tradition and leaving the annual ethics disclosure as the only public accounting of his finances.
