White House Releases Financial Disclosures of Top Trump Aides

The financial background of President Donald Trump aides such as Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon and Gary Cohn were coming into clearer focus Friday as the White House released financial snapshots of its employees.

The forms disclose the assets those aides held when they walked in the doors of the White House — before administration counsel advised them to resign from various postings, divest certain holdings or recuse themselves from future decisions.

The releases were expected to include the financial information of around 180 White House employees, but it was unclear whose forms would be available Friday.

Reporters were beginning to pore over the documents released Friday evening. ProPublica published the disclosures in their entirety.

White House chief strategist Steve Bannon made up to $2.5 million last year, according to the financial snapshot of his business holdings.

The holdings of Kushner, a real estate executive like Trump, will also reveal some of the finances of Ivanka Trump, to whom he is married.

Kushner resigned from 266 positions to take his job in the West Wing, a senior administration official told reporters.

And Cohn, Trump’s chief economic adviser, will likely have the most complicated package of documents as the former president of giant Goldman Sachs.
