Experts say Trone’s apparent failure to disclose all his assets could land the Democrat in legal trouble.
“Our democracy depends on the trust of the people in our elected officials,” said Tom Anderson, the president of Last Government Watchdog. “Congressman Trone appears to have violated that trust.”
By “failing to take seriously the disclosure of all assets and liabilities,” Trone is “opening the door to serious penalties of up to five years in prison and/or up to a $50,000 fine if he is found to be criminally avoiding disclosure,” Anderson told the Free Beacon.
