A watchdog group alleges that Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, filed inconsistent financial disclosure statements regarding investments, which potentially violated House rules and federal law if the unreported assets exceed $1,000 in value.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct seeking an investigation into Crockett for failing to fully disclose financial investments in two dozen companies.

“Generally, a lot of members of Congress are trading and holding assets that could be considered a conflict of interest,” Kendra Arnold, executive director of FACT, told The Daily Signal. “When we see members of Congress not taking financial disclosure seriously, we do see other ethics problems.”

Crockett is a former member of the Texas House of Representatives, where she also filed financial statements. When candidates run for federal office, they disclose financial information for the current and past year.
