Sold CVX 32 days before the Defense Department acted on a $4.5M order

Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) sold $1,001 - $15,000 of Chevron Corp (CVX) on October 17, 2025, according to a transaction report disclosed November 4, 2025. USAspending records an action by the Department of Defense on November 18, 2025, 32 days after the nearest trade, on a delivery order (SPE60226FC16R) with Chevron USA Inc., a unit of Chevron Corporation, whose total value is $4.5M. Capito sits on the Department of Defense subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, which drafts the annual spending bill for the Department of Defense. 4 other contracts with the company have an action inside the same 90-day window. November 18, 2025 was the latest action USAspending listed for that contract when it was pulled on April 8, 2026; the contract itself may be years older, and $4.5M 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.
