WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump — fresh off a weekend campaign appearance where he said he’s “more committed” than ever in his third bid for the White House — was given a second 45-day extension to file his financial disclosure form with the Federal Election Commission.
Citing “the complexity of his financial holdings,” Trump attorney Derek Ross asked for additional time to complete the disclosure. The FEC granted the request, bumping the deadline to file the form to March 15. Trump had previously been granted an extension on Dec. 16.
Presidential candidates are required to report detailed information on their assets, income and debt within 30 days of becoming a candidate, but can ask for two 45-day extensions in writing if they are unable to assemble the necessary information.
