Rep. Kim Schrier (D-Washington) delayed more than 45 days to reveal her purchase of more than $500,000 in Apple stock.
Three lawmakers appeared to have broken the House’s stock trading regulations, while another member purchased stock in an energy business just days after supporting the company during a congressional hearing.
Rep. Kim Schrier (D-Washington) disclosed on Friday that she purchased an investment in Apple worth more than $500,000 in a joint account in July. Legislators are required by federal law to report securities trades within 45 days.
“Rep. Schrier was ignorant of the transaction, which was conducted by her husband, who handles their finances independently,” said Elizabeth Carlson, a representative for Schrier.
“She filed the appropriate report as soon as she became aware.” She has never missed a transaction reporting deadline and will make certain that all future deadlines are met.”
