How obscure government documents foreshadowed divorce for Kanye West, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Madison Cawthorn
"In October 2020, Kanye West — now known as Ye — filed a mandatory financial disclosure document with the federal government as part of his independent presidential campaign during which he declared that "families are the building blocks of society, of a nation."
Federal law almost always requires presidential candidates to disclose their spouses' assets and income, too, as a check against potential conflicts of interest between a couple's personal finances and public aspirations.
But in a highly unusual move for any political candidate, West invoked an obscure legal dodge that provides exemptions for "unusual circumstances," most notably marital strife — and the billionaire rapper/entrepreneur refused to reveal financial assets for wife Kim Kardashian West.
Four months later, Kardashian West filed for divorce."
