Dear Transparency Advocate,
As expected, there is a media frenzy over the recent reports on President Trump’s tax information: struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. There’s a lot to digest — including data that, according to some estimates, shows the president's wealth to be around $3.9 billion — and only a sliver was addressed in last night’s debate.
OpenSecrets allows you take a deep dive on Trump’s reported assets. We make crucial personal finance data accessible to the public, including on Ivanka Trump who reportedly received $747,622 in consulting fees deducted from the president's taxes. Here are resources to help you navigate these earnings:
Personal financial disclosures (PFDs) certified and released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics generate raw data on the finances of public office holders. But it's your continuing support of OpenSecrets that gives us the bandwidth to transform millions of records into accessible data in the public interest. Together we make it possible for every voter to decipher the true extent of the wealth and assets accumulated by the political class and to hold government accountable.
