Bought CVX 9 days before the Defense Department acted on a $11.7M order

Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) bought $15,001 - $50,000 of Chevron Corp (CVX) on December 29, 2025, according to a transaction report disclosed January 16, 2026. USAspending records an action by the Department of Defense on January 7, 2026, 9 days after the nearest trade, on a delivery order (SPE60226FC33C) with Chevron USA Inc., a unit of Chevron Corporation, whose total value is $11.7M. Mullin sits on the Senate Committee on Armed Services, which oversees the Department of Defense. 8 other contracts with the company have an action inside the same 90-day window. January 7, 2026 was the latest action USAspending listed for that contract when it was pulled on September 3, 2026; the contract itself may be years older, and $11.7M is its total value, not the amount of that action. The records do not show who placed the trade or that anyone involved knew of the contract.
