(Raw Story) The left-leaning nonprofit and advocacy group End Citizens United filed a complaint with the House Ethics Committee, presenting multiple potential violations in his financial disclosures, just hours after The Daily Beast published a deep dive Monday evening into the Louisiana Republican and his wife’s income and other discrepancies in their reported finances.
“The American people deserve to know whether the Speaker of the House has financial conflicts of interests, but Speaker Johnson is clearly violating federal laws by hiding critical information from the public,” said Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United. “It’s laughable to believe that the person leading government funding negotiations doesn’t have a reportable savings or retirement account. But beyond his own potential financial mismanagement, failing to disclose travel and his spouse’s sources of income is against the law and the Office of Congressional Ethics must investigate and hold him accountable.”
