FBI Director Kash Patel Delayed Strategy Stock Disclosure by 6 Months, Violating STOCK Act

According to a NOTUS report published July 1, FBI Director Kash Patel purchased between $100,001 and $250,000 in Strategy (MSTR) stock on November 21, 2025, but did not publicly disclose the trade until May 26, 2026, roughly six months past the 45-day disclosure window mandated by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. Patel attributed the delay to an "inadvertent omission" and "miscommunication." Two days after his disclosure letter, Deputy Assistant Attorney General William N. Taylor II determined the purchase created no conflict of interest with Patel's FBI duties, and no fine was issued.
