Cruz Ethics Scandals 101: Delays Releasing Required Financial Disclosure Amid Podcast Problems

Written By

AUSTIN, Texas – Instead of clearing up the “slew of potential legal and ethical issues” surrounding him, Ted Cruz moved the “deadline to file his required personal financial statement from mid-May to Aug. 14.”

According to a report in the Austin American-Statesman:

  • The extension, published on the FEC's website, comes as Cruz is attempting to fend off allegations that hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds from his podcast ‘Verdict with Ted Cruz’ are being directed to a political action committee supporting his reelection.

  • The Cruz campaign did not directly address a question from the Statesman about whether the delay in filing the personal financial statement was related to the podcast controversy.

TL;DR –  Cruz delays releasing the required financial disclosure that would provide transparency around his sketchy podcast.

And that’s not all he’s trying to hide.
