(The Hill) The liberal nonprofit End Citizens United filed a complaint against Tim Sheehy, the frontrunner in Montana’s U.S. Senate GOP primary, alleging he’s missing some details on his personal financial disclosure.

In a complaint filed on Wednesday and shared first with The Hill, End Citizens United alleges the Senate hopeful failed to disclose nine separate investments’ underlying assets that “do not appear to qualify as [Excepted Investment Funds].”
“The public has a right to know this information to assess whether Mr. Sheehy may have financial interests that could pose a conflict of interest,” End Citizens United wrote in the complaint.

End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller accused Sheehy in a statement of “engaging in shady political practices.”
“This is a calculated move intended to prevent Montanans from identifying corruption and conflicts of interest,” she alleged. “Voters are wary of the fact that he’s an out-of-state multi-millionaire running for public office, and they deserve transparent, detailed disclosure reports in order to scrutinize his financial interests. We urge the DOJ to investigate Sheehy and hold him accountable for withholding this critical information.”
