103 Disclosures in Amazon Across Extended Window
Rep. Michael T. McCaul has accumulated 103 disclosed trades in Amazon.com Inc across a multi-year window, a volume that is notable by any measure for a sitting House member. Amazon operates at the intersection of multiple federal policy domains: cloud infrastructure contracts with government agencies, antitrust scrutiny, data privacy legislation, and e-commerce regulation. Without confirmed committee assignments in this dataset, the structural interest lies in the sheer frequency and scale of activity, including several trades exceeding the typical size for this politician, periodic clustering with other members, and recurring late filings relative to Kapitol.ai's 30-day internal flag threshold.
Amazon.com Inc operates e-commerce, cloud computing via AWS, digital advertising, and logistics. AWS holds major federal cloud contracts, and the company faces ongoing antitrust, labor, and data-regulation scrutiny from Congress and federal agencies.
Trade-by-trade conflict scoring
Showing the 10 most recent of 103 disclosed trades. Each is scored against five rule-based signals.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 34 days after the trade date, exceeding Kapitol.ai's 30-day internal flag threshold, though within the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $15,001 equals the median for this politician in Amazon; no size anomaly detected.
- Member Cluster: Nine total members disclosed Amazon trades within the same 14-day window, well above the three-member cluster threshold.
This April 8, 2025 buy of approximately $15,001 in Amazon is the opening transaction in a brief round-trip, as McCaul sold an equivalent position just three days later (Trade #7523). While the size is at the median for his Amazon activity, the trade triggered two signals: a late disclosure filed 34 days after execution (past Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag but within the 45-day STOCK Act window) and a member cluster involving nine House members disclosing Amazon trades in the same 14-day window. Broad member clustering does not by itself indicate coordination, but when nine legislators move in the same name simultaneously, it warrants noting in the broader pattern. Across 103 disclosed trades in this ticker, McCaul's activity in Amazon is extensive, and this short-duration buy sits within a concentrated April trading sequence.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 31 days after the trade date, just past Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold, but within the 45-day STOCK Act statutory deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $15,001 is at the median for this politician's Amazon activity; no size anomaly detected.
- Member Cluster: Seven total members disclosed Amazon trades within the same 14-day window, exceeding the three-member cluster threshold.
This April 11, 2025 sell of approximately $15,001 in Amazon closes the short-duration position opened three days earlier in Trade #8019. The round-trip nature of these two transactions, buy on April 8 and sell on April 11, is itself a notable behavioural data point within an already voluminous 103-trade history in this ticker. Like the corresponding buy, this sell was disclosed on May 12, meaning a 31-day delay that clips Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold; it remains within the STOCK Act's 45-day statutory window. Seven members disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, maintaining the cluster signal seen on the buy side. Together, the paired trades suggest a short-horizon tactical position rather than a long-term holding adjustment, a pattern that adds texture to the broader McCaul-Amazon disclosure record.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 21 days after the trade date, comfortably within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $15,001 equals the median for this politician's Amazon activity; no size anomaly detected.
- Member Cluster: Only two members disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, below the three-member cluster threshold.
This June 16, 2025 sell of approximately $15,001 in Amazon is the smaller of two sells executed on the same date (see also Trade #5561). Both were disclosed on July 7, a 21-day turnaround that falls within both Kapitol.ai's flag threshold and the STOCK Act's 45-day deadline. No size, cluster, or late-disclosure signals fired here. In isolation this is an unremarkable, median-sized sell. Its interest lies in context: it is one of two same-day sells, and it sits within a broader mid-2025 sequence where McCaul executed a $100,001 sell (Trade #5561) and a $250,001 sell (Trade #4924) within an 11-day window. Across 103 disclosed Amazon trades, multi-lot same-day activity is a recurring structural feature of McCaul's trading behaviour in this name.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 21 days after the trade date, within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $100,001 is approximately 6.67 times the $15,001 median for this politician's Amazon trades, a significant size departure.
- Member Cluster: Only two members disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, below the three-member cluster threshold.
This June 16, 2025 sell of approximately $100,001 in Amazon is the most structurally notable of the two same-day sells on that date, coming in at roughly 6.67 times McCaul's median Amazon trade size of $15,001. Size departures of this magnitude warrant attention because they suggest a deliberate portfolio decision rather than routine rebalancing. Disclosure was prompt at 21 days, and no cluster or committee overlap signals fired. The elevated size, however, places this trade in the company of Trade #4924 (a $250,001 sell eleven days later) as part of what appears to be a meaningful reduction in Amazon exposure during June 2025. Across 103 disclosed trades in this ticker, spikes to $100,001 or above are infrequent relative to the dominant $15,001 size tier, which makes this sell a meaningful data point in the longer record.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed just 10 days after the trade date, well within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $250,001 is approximately 16.67 times the $15,001 median, the largest single Amazon trade in this 10-trade window.
- Member Cluster: Only two members disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, below the three-member cluster threshold.
This June 27, 2025 sell of approximately $250,001 in Amazon is the single largest trade in the 10-trade window under review, coming in at roughly 16.67 times McCaul's $15,001 median. At this scale, the transaction suggests a purposeful position reduction rather than routine activity. The disclosure was notably prompt at just 10 days, the fastest turnaround in this window. No cluster signal fired. When viewed alongside the $100,001 sell eleven days prior (Trade #5561) and the smaller $15,001 sell on the same June 16 date (Trade #5495), McCaul appears to have executed a staged reduction of Amazon exposure across a roughly 11-day span in late June 2025, totalling over $365,000 in disclosed sells. Within the 103-trade history, this concentration of large sells in a narrow window is a structurally distinct episode.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 32 days after the trade date, exceeding Kapitol.ai's 30-day internal flag threshold, though within the 45-day STOCK Act statutory deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $15,001 is at the median for this politician's Amazon activity; no size anomaly detected.
- Member Cluster: Only two members disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, below the three-member cluster threshold.
This July 11, 2025 sell of approximately $15,001 in Amazon is a median-sized transaction that nonetheless triggered a late-disclosure flag: it was filed on August 12, a 32-day delay that exceeds Kapitol.ai's 30-day internal threshold. It remains within the STOCK Act's 45-day statutory window, so no statutory breach is indicated. No size or cluster signals fired. This sell follows the large reduction episode of late June 2025 (Trades #5561 and #4924) and extends what appears to be a sustained selling sequence through mid-2025. McCaul's recurring pattern of disclosures landing just past the 30-day internal flag (Trade #8019 at 34 days, Trade #7523 at 31 days, and now this at 32 days) is a consistent feature across the visible window, even if each individual filing remains legally timely.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 21 days after the trade date, within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $50,001 is approximately 3.33 times McCaul's $15,001 median Amazon trade size, a notable above-median departure.
- Member Cluster: Only one member disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, well below the three-member cluster threshold.
This August 21, 2025 sell of approximately $50,001 in Amazon continues the dominant selling trend visible across the mid-to-late 2025 portion of McCaul's Amazon activity. At 3.33 times the median, it is an above-median transaction that triggered the unusually large signal. Disclosure was timely at 21 days, and no cluster signal fired, making this one of the cleaner single-signal trades in the visible window. The $50,001 size tier appears at least twice in this 10-trade sample (also Trade #1716), suggesting it is a recurring size bracket within McCaul's Amazon activity rather than a one-off. In the context of 103 total disclosures, this trade is part of an extended selling pattern that, across mid-2025 through late 2025, shows repeated draw-downs from what appears to be a substantial accumulated Amazon position.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 15 days after the trade date, well within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $1,001 is well below McCaul's $15,001 median Amazon trade size; the position is notably small.
- Member Cluster: Four members disclosed Amazon trades within the same 14-day window, exceeding the three-member cluster threshold.
This September 25, 2025 sell of approximately $1,001 in Amazon is the smallest transaction in the visible 10-trade window, at roughly 7 percent of McCaul's $15,001 median. Its primary signal is the member cluster: four House members disclosed Amazon trades within the same 14-day window, just above the three-member threshold. Cluster flags at this marginal level are noted for completeness rather than as strong indicators, since the absolute count is low. The $1,001 size tier also appears in Trade #1718 on October 27, suggesting McCaul occasionally executes very small lot transactions alongside larger ones in the same name. Disclosure was prompt at 15 days. The trade itself is immaterial in dollar terms, but its co-occurrence with a modest member cluster and its position in an ongoing selling sequence make it a footnote worth logging in the broader 103-trade pattern.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 14 days after the trade date, well within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $50,001 is approximately 3.33 times the $15,001 median, a consistent above-median size tier in McCaul's Amazon activity.
- Member Cluster: Four members disclosed Amazon trades within the same 14-day window, exceeding the three-member cluster threshold.
This October 27, 2025 sell of approximately $50,001 in Amazon is one of two trades McCaul executed on the same date (see also Trade #1718 for a concurrent $1,001 sell). The $50,001 size is 3.33 times the median and mirrors Trade #3375 from August, confirming this as a recurring size bracket in McCaul's activity. Four members disclosed Amazon trades in the same 14-day window, triggering the cluster signal alongside the size flag. Disclosure was prompt at 14 days. The combination of an above-median sell and concurrent member cluster, while not deterministic, adds a second signal layer to an otherwise straightforward transaction. As one of the most recent trades in a 103-disclosure record that has trended heavily toward selling in 2025, this trade continues the pattern of steady Amazon position reduction across the second half of the year.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: No reliable committee data is available; a defensible overlap determination cannot be made for this trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 14 days after the trade date, well within both Kapitol.ai's 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $1,001 is far below the $15,001 median; this is a notably small transaction for this politician in this ticker.
- Member Cluster: Four members disclosed Amazon trades within the same 14-day window, exceeding the three-member cluster threshold.
This October 27, 2025 sell of approximately $1,001 in Amazon is executed on the same date as Trade #1716 (a $50,001 sell), continuing the pattern of multi-lot same-day activity visible elsewhere in McCaul's Amazon record. The $1,001 size is minimal and mirrors Trade #2506 from September, suggesting this small-lot tier is a recurring feature rather than an anomaly. Disclosure was prompt at 14 days and no size flag fired, but the cluster signal (four members in a 14-day window) applies equally to both October 27 trades. The small lot may reflect fractional-share activity, fee coverage, or rounding of a larger disposal rather than a standalone investment decision. As the most recent trade in this analysed window, it sits at the tail end of a sustained 2025 selling sequence that, across 103 total disclosed Amazon trades, represents one of the more active stock-specific records among House members tracked in this dataset.
Between Apr 8, 2025 and Oct 27, 2025, Michael T. McCaul bought $15K and sold $497K of AMZN across 10 disclosed transactions. 30% (3 of 10) were filed past the 30-day STOCK Act window, and 40% (4 of 10) were unusually large relative to Michael T. McCaul's historical median trade size.
Across the remaining 93 disclosed AMZN trades between Nov 5, 2014 and Jan 9, 2025, Michael T. McCaul bought $2.1M and sold $2.1M of AMZN. 68% (63 of 93) were filed past the 30-day STOCK Act window, and 53% (49 of 93) sat above twice Michael T. McCaul's historical median trade size.

Scoring methodology
Every trade in the public dataset is scored against five rule-based signals. The score is auditable, not AI-guessed. AI is used only to write the analyst note, never to decide whether a signal fired.
- Committee Overlap (+3): politician sat on a committee overseeing the company's sector at the time of the trade.
- Pre-Vote Timing (+3 / +2): politician voted on legislation directly affecting the company within 30 (+3) or 60 (+2) days of the trade.
- Late Disclosure (+2): filing arrived more than 30 days after the trade (STOCK Act allows 45).
- Unusually Large (+1): position size sits above the politician's own historical baseline.
- Member Cluster (+2): three or more members bought the same ticker within a 14-day window.
Score bands: Low (0-1), Medium (2-3), High (4-5), Critical (6+).
