Crumbs for fines.

..........The president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who both serve as senior advisers in the White House, have been fined for late financial transaction reports, Kushner twice. Former deputy national security advisers K.T. McFarland and Dina Powell were also both fined for late transaction reports, Powell twice.

A National Security Council spokesman previously said Powell’s late filings were due to computer error. Sean Cairncross, former senior adviser to the chief of staff and a nominee to lead the federal Millennium Challenge Corporation, had a late filing fine waived for a late report.

Late fees on such reports are relatively rare. They were assessed on only 3.6 percent of the more than 12,000 periodic transaction reports filed by federal government employees in 2016, according to an OGE survey of all executive branch agencies.

Under federal law, filers who are required to publicly report their finances must pay a $200 fine if they file a report more than 30 days late. The fine can be waived if the White House ethic’s officer determines the late filing was due to "extraordinary circumstances . . . which made the delay reasonably necessary," including the agency’s failure to notify a worker of the need to file the disclosure report.
