Reid Decides to Amend Ethics Reports
“I directed my staff to file amended financial disclosure forms noting that in 2001, I transferred title to the land to a Limited Liability Corporation,” Reid said in a statement issued by his office.
Reid said he believed the 2001 sale did not alter his ownership of the land but that he agreed to file the amended reports because “I believe in ensuring all facts come to light.”
Reid blamed the AP story as a “latest attempt” by Republicans to affect the election. AP reported last week that it learned of the land deal from a former Reid adviser who had concerns about the way the deal was reported to Congress.
Reid also announced he failed to disclose two other land transactions on his prior ethics reports and would account for those on his amended reports.
All the facts come to light 5 years after the fact?
