Sold GE 26 days after the Defense Department acted on a $833.8M contract

Austin Scott (R-GA) sold $1,001 - $15,000 of General Electric Co (GE) on February 17, 2026 in an account the report lists as the spouse's, according to a transaction report disclosed March 12, 2026. USAspending records an action by the Department of Defense on January 22, 2026, 26 days before the nearest trade, on a definitive contract (N0001918C1061) with General Electric Company whose total value is $833.8M. Scott sits on the House Committee on Armed Services, which oversees the Department of Defense. 3 other contracts with the company have an action inside the same 90-day window. January 22, 2026 was the latest action USAspending listed for that contract when it was pulled on September 18, 2026; the contract itself may be years older, and $833.8M 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.
