103 Trades in a Major Regulated Bank
Wells Fargo is one of the most heavily regulated financial institutions in the United States, subject to oversight by the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and Congress. Ro Khanna sits on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal agency conduct and financial regulation enforcement, as well as the Armed Services Committee, which intersects with defense-sector banking and contractor financing. His family trust has accumulated 103 disclosed trades in Wells Fargo across a substantial window, with the 10 most recent spanning January through October 2025. The recurring pattern of small-minimum purchases punctuated by larger outlier transactions, all in a systemically important bank subject to active congressional oversight, warrants close attention to the overall volume and cadence.
Wells Fargo is a diversified financial services company offering retail banking, commercial lending, mortgage origination, and wealth management. Its operations are directly shaped by federal regulatory decisions, congressional oversight hearings, and monetary policy, making it sensitive to legislative and executive branch activity.
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: Khanna sits on the House Oversight Committee, which oversees federal financial regulators that directly supervise Wells Fargo.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 15 days after the trade, well within both the 30-day internal flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: At $15,001, this buy is approximately 15 times the median trade size of $1,001 for this politician-ticker pair.
- Member Cluster: Only one member disclosed a Wells Fargo trade in the surrounding 14-day window, below the three-member cluster threshold.
This January 22, 2025 buy of approximately $15,001 in Wells Fargo stands out as an outlier in the broader disclosed pattern for this politician-ticker pairing. Across 103 total disclosed trades, the median transaction size is $1,001, making this purchase roughly 15 times that baseline. The disclosure was filed on February 6, 2025, a 15-day delay that falls comfortably within both the internal 30-day flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline. No cluster of other members was active in this name around the same period. Khanna serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal financial regulators including those that directly oversee Wells Fargo's compliance and enforcement posture. The elevated transaction size relative to the surrounding cadence of minimum-tier purchases is the primary signal here, occurring at the start of a new congressional term when regulatory priorities are often being reset.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: Khanna's Oversight Committee role covers federal regulators that supervise Wells Fargo's compliance and enforcement obligations.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Disclosed 9 days after the trade, well under the 30-day internal threshold and the 45-day statutory deadline.
- Unusually Large: Trade size of $1,001 matches the median exactly, registering no size anomaly for this politician-ticker pair.
- Member Cluster: Three members in total disclosed Wells Fargo trades within the same 14-day window, meeting the cluster threshold.
This February 25, 2025 buy of approximately $1,001 in Wells Fargo is at the minimum disclosure tier and in isolation would draw little attention. However, the member cluster signal fires here, with a total of three members disclosing Wells Fargo trades within the same 14-day window, meeting the threshold that suggests broader congressional interest in the stock at this moment. The disclosure was filed within 9 days, which is prompt. Across 103 total disclosed trades in this name, this transaction fits the recurring pattern of small-minimum purchases that punctuate the portfolio's activity in Wells Fargo. Khanna's committee position on Oversight and Government Reform, which has jurisdiction over the federal agencies that regulate major banks, provides a structural reason why his continued exposure to Wells Fargo warrants scrutiny even when individual transactions are small. The clustering of member activity around this date is the most noteworthy element of this particular trade.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: Khanna's Oversight Committee seat covers federal financial regulators that directly supervise Wells Fargo's operations and enforcement actions.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 23 days after the trade, beneath the 30-day internal flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: At $1,001, this trade matches the median exactly and does not register as an outlier in size.
- Member Cluster: Only two members disclosed Wells Fargo trades in the 14-day window around this date, below the three-member threshold.
This March 18, 2025 buy of approximately $1,001 in Wells Fargo is a minimum-tier transaction with no size anomaly, no disclosure delay beyond the internal flag threshold, and no meaningful cluster of other members active in this name around the same period. The disclosure was filed April 10, a 23-day lag that is below Kapitol's 30-day flag level. In isolation, this trade presents a low signal profile. Its relevance is primarily contextual: it represents one data point in a much larger pattern of 103 total disclosed trades in Wells Fargo, suggesting a sustained and deliberate exposure to the stock rather than opportunistic positioning. Khanna's family trust appears to be accumulating small positions in Wells Fargo on a recurring basis. Given his committee role overseeing federal regulators that supervise major banks, the aggregate pattern of this ongoing activity in a regulated financial institution remains the structural consideration worth monitoring.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: Khanna's Oversight Committee jurisdiction includes federal agencies that regulate and can take enforcement action against Wells Fargo.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 38 days after the trade, exceeding the 30-day internal flag threshold, though still within the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.
- Unusually Large: At $1,001, this trade is at the median and does not register as an outlier in terms of transaction size.
- Member Cluster: Only one member disclosed a Wells Fargo trade within the 14-day window around this date, below the three-member threshold.
This April 4, 2025 buy of approximately $1,001 in Wells Fargo was disclosed on May 12, a 38-day delay that exceeds Kapitol's internal 30-day flag threshold. It is worth noting that 38 days remains within the 45-day STOCK Act statutory deadline, so no legal violation is indicated. The transaction itself is minimum-tier with no size anomaly, and no cluster of other members was active in this stock at the time. The filing tardiness is the primary signal here, pushing the disclosure closer to the statutory outer limit than the typical cadence for this politician's other filings in this name. Across the 10 most recent trades reviewed, most were disclosed within 10 to 27 days, making this 38-day lag a relative outlier in the reporting pattern even if it remains legally compliant. Combined with Khanna's committee oversight of federal financial regulators, the delayed reporting on even a small transaction in a supervised institution is worth flagging.
Why each signal fired or did not
- Committee Overlap: Khanna's Oversight Committee role includes jurisdiction over the regulatory agencies that supervise Wells Fargo's ongoing compliance.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 27 days after the trade, below both the 30-day internal flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act deadline.

This April 15, 2025 sell of approximately $15,001 in Wells Fargo is one of the larger transactions visible in the recent disclosed record for this politician-ticker pairing, clocking in at roughly 15 times the median transaction size of $1,001. The trade was disclosed on May 12, a 27-day delay that falls just below Kapitol's 30-day internal flag threshold and well within the 45-day STOCK Act deadline. Notably, this sell comes only 11 days after the April 4 minimum-tier buy, suggesting a possible short-horizon position adjustment rather than a long-term holding change. No other members clustered around Wells Fargo in this window. Across the full 103-trade disclosed history in this name, the alternating pattern of small accumulation buys and periodic larger sales is a recurring structural feature. Khanna's committee oversight of federal financial regulators adds context to why any outsized transaction in a major supervised bank merits attention.

- Committee Overlap: Khanna serves on the Oversight Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal regulators that supervise Wells Fargo directly.
- Pre-Vote Timing: Vote calendar data not yet ingested for this dataset.
- Late Disclosure: Filed 22 days after the trade, below the 30-day internal flag threshold and the 45-day STOCK Act statutory deadline.

The disclosure was filed June 10, a 22-day delay comfortably inside both the internal 30-day flag and the STOCK Act's 45-day limit. Two other members were active in Wells Fargo within the surrounding window, one short of triggering the cluster signal. In isolation, this trade carries low signal density. Its significance is primarily contextual within the 103-trade disclosed history in this name, where such minimum-tier purchases appear to represent a recurring accumulation pattern. The overall volume and frequency of disclosed trades in Wells Fargo by this politician's family trust, combined with Khanna's committee oversight of the regulatory bodies that supervise major banks, is the structural observation that gives even routine minimum-tier transactions additional relevance in the aggregate picture.

This June 18, 2025 buy of approximately $1,001 in Wells Fargo presents a low individual signal profile, with no size anomaly, no disclosure delay above the internal threshold, and no member cluster. The filing was made July 9, representing a 21-day lag that is well within both the internal flag level and the statutory deadline. Two other members were active in Wells Fargo within the surrounding window but did not meet the clustering threshold. This trade falls into the recurring pattern of small-position accumulation that characterizes the majority of the 103 total disclosed trades in this name. Taken individually, it adds little new information. Taken as part of the sustained, high-frequency exposure to Wells Fargo, and considered alongside Khanna's committee oversight of the regulatory infrastructure governing major U.S. banks, the volume and consistency of this activity remains the more significant structural observation.

This June 23, 2025 buy of approximately $1,001 in Wells Fargo came just five days after trade 5286, reflecting a second minimum-tier purchase in the same month. The disclosure was filed July 9 alongside the June 18 trade, a 16-day delay for this transaction that is well within compliance thresholds. No size anomaly is present and no cluster of other members was active in the name. The notable feature here is the rapid sequencing of two separate Wells Fargo buys within the same calendar month, a pattern consistent with incremental accumulation visible across the broader 103-trade disclosed history. Khanna's committee oversight of federal financial regulators continues to provide the structural backdrop against which this sustained exposure to Wells Fargo is most relevant. The frequency of trading activity, more than any single transaction, defines the relationship between this politician and this stock.

No size anomaly, no cluster activity, and no disclosure delay are present. In isolation, this is a low-signal minimum-tier transaction. It represents, however, part of the ongoing accumulation pattern visible across 103 total disclosed trades in this name, with the family trust continuing to add small positions in Wells Fargo through the second half of 2025. The promptness of this particular disclosure stands in contrast to the April 4 trade that was filed 38 days later. Khanna's sustained exposure to Wells Fargo alongside his committee role overseeing the regulatory bodies that govern major banks remains the primary structural consideration for evaluating this pairing in aggregate.

This October 7, 2025 sell of approximately $15,001 in Wells Fargo is the most recent trade in this sample and one of only a handful of outsized transactions visible in the recent record. At roughly 15 times the median transaction size of $1,001, it mirrors the January 22 buy and the April 15 sell in scale, suggesting a recurring pattern where larger-scale liquidations occur periodically alongside sustained small-position accumulation. The disclosure was filed November 6, exactly 30 days after the trade, at the precise boundary of Kapitol's internal flag threshold without exceeding it, and comfortably within the STOCK Act's 45-day statutory limit. Two other members were active in Wells Fargo in the surrounding window but did not meet the cluster threshold.
