Mike Johnson bucks trend of House speakers owning high-dollar assets: 'Man of the people'
Fox News
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is facing criticism for having a financial portfolio similar to most Americans after his predecessors owned hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets.
Johnson's disclosures, though, were scrutinized, and a reporter raised questions about the new speaker's financial health. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Jordan Libowitz, an ethics expert, was quoted recently saying Johnson's disclosure was "strange" and could make him "ripe for influence buying," while Brett Kappel, a government ethics expert at Harmon Curran, added it was "very unusual for a member not to have to disclose at least one bank account."
