For some reason, the Federal Elections Committee granted convicted fraudster and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump a second 45-day extension to file his personal financial disclosures, Reuters reports. This is part of Trump’s playbook: delay disclosing anything. Trump now has more reasons to delay public disclosure given he’s involved in multiple lawsuits involving his personal and corporate taxes.
It’s not the first time Trump has requested an extension, but it’s unlikely Trump will get a third extension: after he had already gotten a 90-day extension for his first quarter statement, Trump requested an additional 30-day delay in March 2023. The FEC denied the third request.
