This total aggregates every source filing listed below. Public trackers focused on a single disclosure may report smaller counts for the same official.

The counted trades include sales and no purchases. This is the pattern you would expect from an official liquidating positions to comply with an ethics agreement, but Open Cabinet does not yet ingest the entry-disclosure baseline (Nominee 278) needed to confirm which holdings have been fully divested.
