These are the poorest politicians in the United States, among them Engel

When thought of American politicians, they usually think of the president who was super rich. Suppose Barack Obama had his fortune multiplied even after the term was completed, writes Periscope.

In the Trump administration, including the president himself, its prominent members are also super rich.

However, there are prominent politicians who don't have a million dollars of money. Among them is the Congressman who has consistently supported Kosovo, Eliot Engel.

The list is made up of Republican Congressman Chris Stewart from Utah, which is below zero, with 490 grand in debt.

And then there's Elliot Engel, who owes $550,000, even though he's a Congressman, who pays 174 grand a year, plus other benefits. It is said that he has not declared all his assets, however.

The most troubled politician is David Valadao. He's a Republican with an $8 million debt of $750,000. That makes him the poorest legislature in the United States.

Also, among the poorest, although not the poorest, is the senator of Vermont who today declared his candidacy for president of the United States, Bernie Saunders. /Periscopi
