WH Punches Back After ‘Outrageous’ Demand From Schiff

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) called on the White House to release overdue financial disclosure reports for senior officials, citing growing concerns about transparency. In a letter to White House Counsel David Warrington, Schiff demanded a list of officials who failed to file, reasons for delays, and any penalties imposed.

The White House responded, affirming compliance with disclosure obligations. However, critics, including a Trump adviser and White House spokesman Kush Desai, accused Schiff of hypocrisy, urging him to scrutinize longtime ally Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over past insider trading allegations. Though Pelosi has denied owning stocks or having involvement in trades, the controversy has fueled Republican efforts to ban congressional stock trading. Sen. Josh Hawley and Rep. Mark Alford introduced the PELOSI Act and a House companion bill, respectively, aiming to prevent lawmakers from profiting off non-public information. Despite pressure, Pelosi has offered lukewarm responses to supporting such a ban, prompting continued calls for ethics reforms in Congress.
