Like Trump, RFK Jr. doesn't want you to see his personal finances yet

Raw Story  

Despite a campaign platform that preaches transparency, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is delaying revealing his personal finances — again. Kennedy today requested a second extension to file a personal financial disclosure report required of all presidential candidates, delaying when voters will have the opportunity to see the wealthy Kennedy family member's personal finances. Last year, Kennedy's then-campaign manager cited "the press of business in the past 30 days, since his announcement has been so extraordinary, the demands on Mr. Kennedy's time have been great, and his presence at various venues across the country, requires extra time to produce the report,” according to a May 22, 2023, letter from his then-campaign manager, ex-Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, who himself is now running for Congress. During the campaign, Kennedy's financial transparency ideas have included "putting the entire U.S. budget on blockchain" and enacting a suite of government integrity reforms, including getting "money out of politics."
