Late filing

A Congress trade disclosed more than 45 days after it happened.

Why it matters

The STOCK Act sets a 45 day limit. Repeated late filings are a transparency issue, and the trade was old news by the time it became public.

How to read it

Check the traded date, not the filed date, when judging what the member knew.
