President Trump announced he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to release a list of names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse.

This comes one day after Elon Musk said DOGE was investigating how government workers mysteriously accrued millions of dollars.

“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Elon Musk said on Tuesday.

What about Jim Jordan’s wealth?

I can't find a definitive source for Jordan's wealth using different AI internet searches. Reports are all over the spectrum.

I saw one as high as $50 million, and another as low as $200,000.

One report said he inherited $15 million, another said $1 million.

One report says he has real estate assets of $8 million.

Yet another report says he as assets of $7 million and liabilities of $3 million.

So I don't know how to answer your question. There doesn't appear to be a consistent source of information on this.

So it needs investigated, right? To properly ascertain, like others, the exact amount.

Sure, just like anyone else. But who does it?

Unless there is suspicion of a crime, it's mostly up to the media to do investigative reporting on our politicians.

Unfortunately, the current reporting is probably AI driven coming from celebrity net worth sites of questionable sources of information, which is why the numbers are all over the place.

Just to be clear, it doesn't "need" to be investigated, but there is no harm in the media investigating our politicians' sources of income.

Even when there is irrefutable evidence presented, the Democrats and their media jackals

Anyone here who thinks there are not rivers of money flowing to Republican elected officials (as well as Democrats) is too stupid to be allowed out of the house.

I thought all “all hell would break loose” on Election Day and then again yesterday when all hostages were not released, but that never happened.

We gave Obama a rough time about his “line in the sand”, now our own guy is doing it!

Anyone who thinks there are just as many Reps as Dems stealing from us taxpayers is too stupid to be posting on FR.

I didn’t say there are “just as many” Republican elected officials stealing from the taxpayers - but I would not be at all surprised.

Jim, didn’t you post an opus on FR? Why haven’t you kept your promise? Why are you still here? (Just kidding of course. I’m glad you didn’t leave for good)

It should be both. Media and official. His background is a bit humble to be orth what some of those upper estimates are.

There's a lot of shoulda woulda coulda in politics. When you think about it, that's probably the very definition of politics: each side has a "shoulda woulda coulda" and the goal is to agree on the vital few "will dos."

You're doing your part to point it out. I followed your lead and found inconsistent data, so we both acted as citizen-journalists of a sort. That's how it should be.

Now let's see if others pick up where you and I left off. We need other sources to determine if those "upper estimates" are accurate or just agitprop -- or worst case, libel.

This was put out there last week, and it wasn’t true.

I did the general Google search and like you found wide variations. I did find his 2023 disclosure. Interesting to note it showed him basically being a pauper. Among his assets not listed was his home in Ohio. I thought maybe it was in his wife’s name or was owned by family. According to the Auditor in the county he lives in, it’s his. Oversight or purposeful?

Oversight or purposeful?

Who knows? Politicians have been revising their financial statements ever since they were created. Maybe they were oversights, maybe the law was unclear on what needed to be reported, maybe the law changed since the last time a financial statement was reported?

Let's say his home was NOT listed for some nefarious reason. That still doesn't account for $20+ million or some such number of gain while in office. That home would have been his when he took office, not a fruit of office.

You're looking for evidence of insider trading, kickbacks, illegal income streams, land purchases based on knowledge of future legislation, that sort of thing. Not inheritances or homesteads.

But I applaud you for verifying my searches with your own.
