On Monday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about Representative Liz Cheney, who is not officially out of Congress. The article notes that Congress was a very successful financial move for Representative Cheney.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) will vacate her congressional seat on Tuesday after becoming a wealthy woman during her six years of serving Wyoming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheney, who lost her Republican primary by nearly 40 points in August, will depart Congress on January 3 and return home as a defeated 56-year-old never Trumper.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheney will not depart Congress empty-handed. During her six years in Congress, she has become very wealthy. Breitbart News reported in August that Cheney\u2019s net worth\u00a0ballooned<\/a>\u00a0from an estimated $7 million when she first took office in 2017 to possibly more than $44 million in 2020. Depending on the specifics of her latest financial disclosure form, Cheney\u2019s net worth could have skyrocketed up to 600 percent in Congress.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to her 2020 Personal Financial Disclosure form, Cheney declared a net worth\u00a0between $10,422,023 and $44,140,000, stemming from assets valued between $10,432,024 and $44,155,000. She reported no earned income, gifts, or transactions. She did, however, declare she held three posts, including a trustee position at the University of Wyoming, membership of a holding company, and what appears to be a position in her family\u2019s trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Admittedly, she was not middle class when she went into Congress, but it would be interesting to know how a person increases their wealth by 600 percent while serving in Congress.<\/p>\n

Now that we have seen President Trump’s tax returns, maybe Congress needs to share theirs–with information on stock trades and their relationship to legislation members of Congress were involved in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
