Jared Kushner Fined For Filing Financial Disclosures Too Late
Trump’s favorite son and White House aide Jared Kushner has been fined by the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) for failing to report financial disclosures.
Kushner was supposed to report the transactions that showed how he transferred management of his businesses so he could serve in the White House.
An OGE survey found that this fine is rare among federal employees. Only 3.6 percent of 12,000 similar reports filed in 2016 incurred late fees.
According to a close source to Kushner, he will pay the fine.
The fine is paid directly to U.S. Treasury, in the very low amount (for Kushner) of $200.
However, Kushner isn’t the only one in trouble with OGE.
A released document indicates that 17 other White House staffers did not file their personal financial disclosure statements on time.
This includes former chief of staff Reince Priebus and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
