Trump disclosure file notes late fees, extension, and compliance finding

The Office of Government Ethics released Donald Trump’s 2025 annual financial disclosure report on June 30, 2026. The report records that Trump received a 45-day extension on the filing deadline and that the filing was received on June 29, 2026, the extended due date.

The report also says late filing fees were paid for transactions that had not previously been reported on 278-T forms. In OGE’s disclosure system, the 278-T is the form used for periodic transaction reporting, while the annual report consolidates the year’s broader disclosure record.

An ethics official’s certification attached to the report concludes that the filer is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, subject to comments noted in the filing. That is the report’s bottom line: a completed annual disclosure, an extension, late-fee language tied to prior transaction reporting, and a compliance finding with caveats.

The record does not, by itself, establish a separate ethics violation. What it does show is a public disclosure trail that is now on the books, with OGE’s deadline extension, a same-day receipt date at the end of the extension period, and reviewer comments about transactions that were not previously captured on 278-T filings.
