Suspicious Timing

Major political announcements move markets. These are congressional trades that happened in the 10 days before those announcements, in the exact stocks and sectors that were affected. Trades made after are excluded - that's just public information. What's left is the suspicious part.

How this works

For each major political event, we search our database of 41,860 congressional trade disclosures for any trades in affected tickers in the 10 days before the event. We only show trades made before the announcement - trades made after are irrelevant since the information was already public. A trade before an event could mean foresight, routine portfolio activity, or pure coincidence. We flag the timing - you decide what it means.

Earnings Oct 30, 2025

Apple earnings report - Congress members trade around announcement

Three Congress members (Cleo Fields, David Taylor, Lisa McClain) traded AAPL on the same day as Apple's Q4 earnings report. Cleo Fields purchased $375K of AAPL. This kind of earnings-adjacent trading by politicians is technically legal but shows access-adjacent timing.

Market impact: Apple beat earnings expectations. AAPL rose 2.5% the following day.

A note on what this page shows

This page maps publicly disclosed congressional trades against documented political events. A trade near an event is not proof of wrongdoing - members of Congress trade frequently, and coincidences happen. What matters is the pattern: when the same sectors and tickers keep appearing in the days before market-moving announcements, the question shifts from "is this suspicious?" to "how often does this happen?"

The larger suspicious trading incidents (the $580M pre-dawn oil futures bet, the $950M ceasefire trade) involve anonymous market participants - not necessarily Congress members. We include those events for context because they show the environment in which congressional trading happens.
