What do Merrick Garland's financial reports reveal?
Judge Merrick Garland.
Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland apparently shuns outside income and gifts, according to financial disclosure reports he files as a federal appeals judge.
Garland didn’t report any outside income for gigs such as teaching for the years 2012 through 2014, the National Law Journal (sub. req.) reports. He also reported no gifts, no financial agreements and no liabilities for that time period.
Garland reported bank and credit union accounts valued at more than $465,000, according to the story. His stocks, bonds, IRAs and other investments paid at least $165,000 in dividends and interest. He also had at least $100,000 in rent from New York property held in trust.
He had little reimbursed travel—just one or two trips a year to Harvard Law School and Yale Law School where he participated in moot courts and career forums.
