WASHINGTON — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s financial disclosure report (all times local):<\/p>\n
6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
Vice-President Mike Pence has released his annual financial disclosure, reporting a pension plan from the state of Indiana worth between $500,000 and $1 million and credit card debt between $15,000 and $50,000.<\/p>\n
The report shows that oil company founder Forrest Lucas provided Pence with two tickets worth $774 to the Indianapolis Colts game in October that Pence walked out of in protest of some NFL players who knelt during the national anthem.<\/p>\n
Pence also received three tickets worth $15,000 to the 2017 Super Bowl in Houston from Houston Texans owner Bob McNair. The vice-president also attended the Indianapolis 500, receiving two tickets valued at $1,000 from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
Pence’s wife, Karen Pence, reported royalties of $15,000 to $50,000 for her children’s book, “Marlon Bundo’s Day in the Life of the Vice-President.”<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump’s disclosure that he “reimbursed” personal attorney Michael Cohen for as much as $250,000 last year comes in a footnote to his financial disclosure report.<\/p>\n
No mention was made of a $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair. A footnote in tiny type on page 45 of the 92 page document says the president “fully reimbursed” Cohen for “expenses” ranging from $100,001 to $250,000. The report says Trump did not have to disclose the payment but is doing so “in the interest of transparency.”<\/p>\n
The footnote appears in a report giving the first extended look at Trump’s income from his properties since he became president. Among his holdings, he took in $25 million from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has filed a financial disclosure report that reveals a payment to his personal attorney, Michael Cohen. The value of the payment ranged from $100,001 to $250,000.<\/p>\n
Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani revealed earlier this month that Trump repaid Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Daniels says she had an affair with the president. Trump denies it.<\/p>\n
The mandatory filing says that “in 2016 expenses were incurred by one of Donald J. Trump’s attorneys, Michael Cohen. It says Trump “fully reimbursed Mr. Cohen in 2017.”<\/p>\n
The Office of Government Ethics has also concluded that the payment to Cohen “meets the disclosure requirement for a reportable liability.” The disclosure was not included in Trump’s 2017 filing.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has submitted his annual financial disclosure to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics and it’s expected to be made public in the coming days.<\/p>\n
Trump’s disclosure includes all of 2017 and part of 2018.<\/p>\n
The document is being closely watched by ethics experts to see whether it discloses the $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels on his behalf by his attorney Michael Cohen.<\/p>\n
Ethics experts say that if that money isn’t disclosed, Trump could be in violation of ethics laws for failing to disclose a reportable item, a violation for which others have been prosecuted.<\/p>\n
Trump’s previous report, covering January 2016 through the first few months of 2017, showed he had at least $1.4 billion in assets and at least $594 million in income.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
