Trump earlier this week disclosed 1,156 transactions made by accounts in his name in July, including 440 purchases and 716 sales, according to a report filed with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), first reported by Business Insider. In total, his transactions represented at least $79 million and at most $270 million in trades, according to a Fortune analysis of the report. The exact dollar amount associated with each trade was not disclosed.
