According to Cointelegraph, Republican Congressman Brandon Gill from Texas is facing scrutiny for delayed disclosure of a $500000 Bitcoin transaction. These transactions may violate the 45 day disclosure deadline under the Stop Trading in Congressional Knowledge Act. Gill disclosed two Bitcoin transactions on January 29th and February 27th, each worth between $100000 and $250000, but both exceeded the disclosure deadline by several weeks. It is worth noting that the January transaction occurred shortly after Trump signed the digital asset executive order, while the February transaction was just before Trump announced his "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" plan. Gill also timely disclosed two Bitcoin transactions in May. According to the STOCK Act, delayed disclosure typically results in a fine of only $200. Gill currently serves as a member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is the main investigative body of the House of Representatives.
