Now that he’s Speaker, Johnson is predictably getting more scrutiny than he did as an unheralded Congressman from Louisianna. And one of the things raising questions is his personal finances. Namely, in his required financial reporting, he has never reported having a bank account under his or his wife’s name. In fact, on his latest filing he doesn’t report having any financial assets at all, even though his House salary alone puts him in the top 12% of American earners and he had years of practice as an attorney prior to assuming electoral office. Curious.

> Speaker Mike Johnson has never listed a bank account on his financial disclosure. In fact, on his newest disclosure he doesn’t list a single asset at all.
