Last Friday night, the White House began making staffers’ financial disclosures “available,”<\/a> which give a glimpse of officials’ often extraordinary personal wealth. But it didn’t post the documents publicly. Instead, the White House required a separate request for each disclosure. It also didn’t release the names of staffers who have submitted the forms, forcing reporters and others to guess and play a game of Transparency Battleship.<\/p>\n

To combat the pointless opacity, ProPublica teamed up with the Associated Press and The New York Times to request disclosures for all the applicable staff that we know of \u2014 171 people overall. We’ve received 88 filings<\/a> to date, and posted all of them. (Check out our public Google Drive folder of disclosures<\/a>. The Center for Public Integrity has also made them searchable<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
