Associated Press: Congress eyes more financial disclosure for federal judges

Associated Press: Congress eyes more financial disclosure for federal judges. “Federal judges would have to publicly disclose more about their finances under a bill approved by the Senate this week, which aims to make the judiciary subject to similar transparency requirements as lawmakers. The bipartisan bill by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chris Coons, D-Del., is intended to make it easier for the public to find out if a judge’s financial holdings could pose a conflict of interest in a case they are presiding over.”
