An ex Biden WH official is running for office and is trying to cover up most of their assets on their financial declaration forms.

Maggie Goodlander, a candidate in the increasingly tense Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Annie Kuster’s (D-N.H.) seat, filed a personal financial disclosure that has raised questions over the actual value of sizable assets she holds.
Goodlander, a former Justice Department official under President Biden who’s married to national security adviser Jake Sullivan, is running to fill Kuster’s seat in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, a Democratic-leaning area that went for Biden by 9 points in 2020. Her primary opponent, Colin Van Ostern, is backed by Kuster, while Goodlander has the support of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and EMILY’s List, an abortion-rights group. Whoever wins the primary is favored to defeat the GOP nominee in November.
The questions surrounding Goodlander’s recent personal financial disclosure, which was filed Aug. 12, come as the race turns bitter in the lead-up to the Sept. 10 primary, with Kuster herself wading in to boost Van Ostern as recent polls show Goodlander leading.
The disclosure has puzzled experts because it lists the value of multiple easily verifiable assets as “undetermined,” including checking, retirement and investment accounts; treasury notes; cash bonds; and several properties or pieces of land, even those the report indicates are currently for sale.
“To be perfectly honest, this was pretty bizarre,” said Danielle Caputo, legal counsel for ethics at the Campaign Legal Center, referring to the disclosure.
