Ross lied about his net worth to Forbes on several occasions.
Ross failed to fully inform Congress about his Russian business dealings.
And, in 1990, in a controversial business transaction, Ross helped Trump keep half ownership of Trump's bankrupt casino.
From Forbes Magazine:
"...the financial-disclosure forms Ross filed after his nomination to President Donald Trump's Cabinet...showed less than $700 million in assets..."
"Ross protested, citing trusts for his family that he said he did not have to disclose in federal filings."
"That money never existed. It seems clear that Ross lied to us, the latest in an apparent sequence of fibs, exaggerations, omissions, fabrications and whoppers that have been going on with Forbes since 2004."
"In addition to just padding his ego, Ross' machinations [being on the Forbes 400] helped bolster his standing in a way that translated into business opportunities."
"But Ross' questionable assertions to Forbes, combined with a recent controversy about a multimillion-dollar stake in a shipping company that does big business with close associates of Vladimir Putin, paint a clearer picture of the commerce secretary's tactics."
"Ross eventually brokered a deal among Trump, debt holder Carl Icahn and Ross' own clients that allowed Trump to keep a 50% stake. "I think [Ross] is very talented, a fantastic negotiator," Trump said at the time.
Long knives out for Wilbur and Mnuchin this week...
What is with you people?????
FAKE !!!!!!
Stop embarrassing Free Republic!
Nothin here is a problem for Ross. Nobody inflates his net worth more than Donald Trump.
By the way Ross is the Commerce Secretary, not the Treasury Secretary, somebody might want to tell Forbes.
Forbes, when Malcom Forbes was alive and Editor, a great business magazine. I could read it cover to cover. Today no longer, I quit as a subscriber two or three years ago. Too many bad changes and Steve Forbes is more RINO now than he ever was.
So F’ing what $2.50 or $200,000,000,000,000,000,000,..
Anything to screw with The First Real President that has ever run The United States of America.
I’m so sick of this crap. Let President Trump do His Job.
Go after hitlary and x42 whoredog.
To me this is pretty much a non story.
Is that a crime?
Oh yeah, ‘cause Wilbur Ross’s proper net worth estimate is sooooooo important. My guess is someone at Forbes Magazine has a personal grudge against Ross .... or is a liberal. There are no other reasonable explanations.
