Michael Bloomberg requested and received a second extension for filing a personal financial disclosure report, meaning the public likely won’t see details about his assets until after the March 3 primaries that are the focus of his Democratic presidential campaign strategy.

In requesting the delay from the Federal Election Commission, Bloomberg campaign attorney Lawrence Norton that the former New York mayor had “made diligent efforts to prepare his report” but needed more time because his holdings were so complex and he relies on third parties to provide information. The disclosure was originally due on Dec. 21, but he’d also gotten an earlier extension until Feb. 4. He now has until March 20.
