The expected release of the President's latest financial disclosure forms on Thursday will trigger a now annual controversy about Trump's wealth, including the question of whether he is adding to it while in office. The documents to be released on Thursday are unlikely to fully light up Trump's labyrinthine financial affairs. The Office of Government Ethics confirmed on Wednesday that Trump had filed the disclosure forms. While the documents offer some details of Trump's financial fortunes from year to year, they do not contain details of how much tax he has paid. The release of the less comprehensive financial disclosure will likely be used by the White House to rebut claims he is not meeting minimum standards of transparency.
