By the Numbers

Late to File

Under the STOCK Act, officials must disclose a trade within 45 days. All five trades in this batch were disclosed 53 days after their July 31 trade date — 8 days beyond that threshold. All five were reported in a single filing by President Donald J. Trump on September 22:

All-time: Across all executive branch disclosures on record, 88.5% have been filed late (29,562 of 33,407 total). The most frequent late filers are Donald J. Trump (23,504 late disclosures), Mitchell M. Zais (284), Nuria Fernandez (278), Linda E. McMahon (259), and Gina M. Raimondo (206). These counts reflect individual line-item transactions across all filings on record, not individual filing events.

The Fine Print

Data derived from public STOCK Act disclosures. Disclosure date is not the trade date (filings lag 30-45 days). Dollar figures are disclosed ranges, not exact amounts. Conflict-of-interest flags are heuristic "potential overlaps," not assertions of wrongdoing. Not investment advice.
