(CNN)Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross violated his ethics agreement and submitted a financial disclosure form that "was not accurate," according to the Office of Government Ethics.

Emory Rounds, the director of the Office of Government Ethics, wrote that Ross reported in his annual financial disclosure that he sold bank stock that other reports indicate he did not sell.
That meant "the filer was therefore not in compliance with his ethics agreement at the time of the report," Rounds wrote.
The watchdog group that drew attention to the report, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said OGE declining to certify a report "does not normally happen."

So what will be the real consequences of this?

Well under a normal american government I would expect there to be an investigation and potential resignation.

Under the trump regime with con support, nothing probably since there are no adults left in the room.

Poor title.

Vipers are dangerous when confronted, the Trump crew is a danger secretly and behind the scenes. I'll take the up front danger any day.

Imagine if Chelsea Clinton's husband was heading to Saudi Arabia after the Administration was exposed for expediting the illegal transfer of sensitive nuclear secrets to the Saudis, in violation of Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act requiring Congressional approval, even after their own attorneys advised them against the move and informed Congress???
