Trump discloses more than 1,100 July trades, including up to $25 million sales of Microsoft and Amazon
CNBC said the trades included at least $43.6 million in purchases and $35.6 million in sales, as lawmakers pressed for more disclosure.
- The Office of Government Ethics received a filing from President Donald Trump on September 14, disclosing over 1,100 securities transactions made in July, including sales of Microsoft and Amazon shares valued at up to $25 million each.
- Trump's accounts have recorded heavy trading volumes throughout his second term, with July's 1,156 transactions totaling between roughly $79 million and $270 million, according to a CNBC analysis.
- On July 20, the accounts sold between $5 million and $25 million in Microsoft and Amazon, then reversed course three days later by purchasing smaller positions valued between $100,001 and $250,000 in Microsoft and between $1,001 and $15,000 in Amazon.
- Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Robert Garcia previously demanded Trump identify money managers and explain transactions they said raised questions about using his office to benefit personal holdings; the White House maintains independent advisors manage accounts without his input.
- Prior occupants of the White House typically utilized blind trusts or divested individual stock holdings to prevent conflicts of interest, a practice Trump has not adopted during his second term.
