Friedman's financial disclosure (form 278e) [PDF \ 14 pages]
Friedman's ethics agreement [PDF \ 3 pages]
>>> Nominees for high-ranking positions in the government are required by law to disclose their financial interests. The Office of Government Ethics quietly posts these forms but only for the highest-paid positions. Ambassadors don't earn that much, so the OGE doesn't post their disclosures at all. They have to be requested, which I've done.
Here we have have the financial disclosure and the ethics agreement for David Friedman, Trump's bankruptcy lawyer and now his nominee for US Ambassador to Israel. They're above as PDFs, with images below.
He is, like so many people Trump picks, very wealthy. His share of his law firms brings in $2.7 million a year; he has up to $8 million in liquid cash; he owns a million-dollar winery; and he's an investor in tech VC firm Maverick Ventures, among other things.
P.S.: Here's the OGE's warning that accompanies these disclosures:
Title 1 of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended, 5 U.S.C. app. § 105(c), states that: 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to obtain or use a report: (A) for any unlawful purpose; (B) for any commercial purpose, other than by news and communications media for dissemination to the general public; (C) for determining or establishing the credit rating of any individual; or (D) for use, directly or indirectly, in the solicitation of money for any political, charitable, or other purpose. 2. The Attorney General may bring a civil action against any person who obtains or uses a report for any purpose prohibited in paragraph (1) of this subsection. The court in which such action is brought may assess against such person a penalty in any amount not to exceed $11,000. Such remedy shall be in addition to any other remedy available under statutory or common law.
