James Inhofe: trades in Technology-sector equities

Traded within a sector the committee broadly regulates.

Amount undisclosed Multiple trades Trade: — Owner: self
Committee jurisdiction Chair (2018–2021), Senate Armed Services Committee

Oversaw DoD procurement, including the contested $10B JEDI cloud contract (Microsoft vs. Amazon).

Why this is on the ledger

The NYT's 2022 investigation found Inhofe — then chair of Senate Armed Services — traded technology companies while the committee oversaw the disputed $10B Pentagon JEDI cloud contract. Inhofe announced in 2022 he would divest individual stocks. Reported as a committee-jurisdiction overlap; no charges were brought.
