(MSNBC) Liberal activists from the group End Citizens United are disturbed about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s finances, and they want the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate.

In a letter to the House’s OCE, the group accused Johnson of failing to disclose several things on his personal financial disclosure statements, including trips paid for by private entities as well as the sources of his wife’s earned income. 

In its letter, End Citizens United wrote: “It would be highly unusual for a Member of Congress and their spouse, after working for over twenty years, to not have a single reportable retirement asset, bank account, brokerage account, 529 savings plan, or insurance policy.”
