Kash Patel Fails to Disclose Stock Purchase in DOJ Contractor
Director Patel’s recent stock purchase was not disclosed within the mandatory 45-day period stipulated by the STOCK Act, an omission described as an inadvertent error by Patel and a miscommunication by the Deputy Assistant Attorney General. While an FBI official stated the late reporting was unintentional and not realized, the Project on Government Oversight contends that the disclosure is indeed late according to the act’s provisions. Despite these assertions of unintentional oversight, the failure to meet the STOCK Act’s disclosure deadline remains a point of contention.
