Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin disclosed purchasing shares in Chevron Corporation and RTX Corporation days before the United States carried out a high-profile operation targeting Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, according to financial filings reviewed by Quiver Quantitative.
The Oklahoma Republican bought between $15,001 and $50,000 worth of shares in each company on Dec. 29, 2025, less than a week before U.S. authorities captured Maduro on Jan. 3 as part of an escalating pressure campaign against the Venezuelan government. The transactions were jointly owned and were publicly disclosed on Jan. 16, 2026.
