#3Donation PatternProbable

Donation-Trade Timing Correlation (10 instances)

Richard McCormick received 10 donations within 90 days of stock trades from overlapping interests, totaling $10,000,000. Notable donors include HAMILTON, ANNE. While donation-trade proximity does not prove quid pro quo, the pattern warrants scrutiny under the STOCK Act's framework. Records suggest temporal correlation between financial contributions and trading activity in related sectors.

#4Disclosure GapConfirmed

10 Late STOCK Act Disclosures (up to 917 days)

The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to disclose trades within 45 days. Richard McCormick filed 10 disclosure(s) beyond the 45-day deadline, with the longest delay being 917 days. Late disclosures:
