Pro-crypto Texas Congressman Brandon Gill missed the disclosure deadline for his Bitcoin purchases, raising concerns about transparency among U.S. policymakers, who generally have limited exposure to crypto assets.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas did not disclose his sale of properties to Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, a violation of federal disclosure law. Crow's company purchased the properties for $133,363 from Thomas, his mother, and the family of Thomas' late brother.
