Representative Ro Khanna (Democrat-CA) reported a Microsoft trade more than two years after executing it, a delay that far exceeds the 45-day window required by the STOCK Act. The slowest transaction in his latest filing landed 758 days after the trade date.
The filing, made public this week, covers three MSFT transactions between August 7, 2024 and August 10, 2026. The combined value: roughly $116,000. The August 2026 sell, worth between $15,000 and $50,000, was reported 758 days late. Two other trades, a buy in August 2024 and a buy in August 2026, also missed the deadline by hundreds of days.
Khanna, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, has reported 19,659 career trades. That total dwarfs most of his colleagues, though his office has previously attributed filing delays to administrative errors.
Microsoft is a frequent pick on Capitol Hill. A total of 173 lawmakers have traded MSFT, according to our database. The stock currently trades at $499.70, within a 52-week range of $349.20 to $553.72.
The STOCK Act, passed in 2012, requires members of Congress to disclose most securities transactions within 45 days of execution. Late filings are common: a 2023 analysis found that roughly a third of congressional trade reports miss the deadline. But a 758-day lag is on the extreme end.
Khanna's committee assignments give him oversight of defense technology and cyber operations, areas where Microsoft holds major contracts. The company is a top vendor for the Department of Defense, including cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence tools. Khanna's trades do not necessarily conflict with his duties, but the delay obscures public visibility into his financial moves during a period when he was voting on defense and technology policy.
His filing also includes a buy of between $50,000 and $100,000 on August 10, 2026, just two days after a sell in the $15,000 to $50,000 range. The pattern of buying and selling within a short window is worth noting, though it does not indicate any impropriety.
Khanna has been one of the more active traders in Congress, with thousands of transactions across tech stocks. His portfolio has included Apple, Nvidia, and Amazon, among others. The sheer volume of his trading makes timely disclosure more complex, but the STOCK Act does not exempt frequent traders.
For context, the latest congressional trades page shows that many members file on time, but late filings remain a persistent issue. The 758-day delay in this case ranks among the slowest disclosures we have tracked this year.
The STOCK Act's penalty for late filing is a $200 fine, which the House Ethics Committee can waive. Whether Khanna faces any consequences is unclear. His office did not respond to a request for comment.
What is clear: the public did not learn about his Microsoft trades until more than two years after the fact. That is the opposite of what the STOCK Act intended.
