ICYMI: Tom Suozzi failed to publicly disclose multiple transactions & ADMITS he violated STOCK

September 16, 2025

In case you missed it, a bombshell report exposed that Two-Faced Tom Suozzi failed to publicly disclose multiple transactions, and admitted that on at least four of those transactions he violated the STOCK Act.

This is the FIFTH time Suozzi has violated the STOCK Act, and it comes just days after he was slammed by an ethics watchdog group for allegedly abusing official resources.

"Two-Faced Tom Suozzi is as corrupt as they come. He's breaking the rules nonstop and lining his own pockets while voting to raise taxes and make life more expense for hardworking Long Islanders. Suozzi is out for himself, not New York." - NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole

WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Suozzi is under attack again for allegedly violating federal conflict-of-interest requirements by taking months to publicly disclose five financial transactions.

Speaker Mike Johnson's GOP political arm in Washington is seizing on information in a new Suozzi public filing to allege he's violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) act, the law that requires lawmakers to disclose trades within 45 days.

They point to four purchases of U.S. Treasury bills and a single purchase of assets tied to a private credit fund that Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) reported last month even though they occurred last year. Collectively, the transactions totaled between $19,005 and $110,000.

House members are required to publicly disclose trades of stocks, bonds and most securities of over $1,000 in value to the Committee on Ethics up to 45 days after they occur, in what are publicly viewable, periodic transaction reports. Failure to do so can result in fines. Reporting amounts are done in ranges, not exact values.

But on Friday, Suozzi's office disputed that the House reporting requirements pertained to the July 11, 2024 credit fund-related purchase - the largest one that is now being questioned, potentially valued at up to $50,000.

The congressman's Chief of Staff, Matt Fried, noted that the purchase involved Northeast-PTP SPV IV LP, a private credit vehicle that is an Excepted Investment Fund.

Transactions involving those types of funds, unlike trades of stocks, bonds and most securities, he said, are excluded from the House rules on periodic transaction reports. That's "due to a variety of factors, including that the fund is independently managed and the congressman has no authority to exercise control over the fund itself," Fried said.

House rules do tell members: "If you own a fund that does not qualify as an EIF," they are required to disclose those within 45 days.

But Maureen O'Toole, a National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman, disagreed, saying the House Ethics rules still did require disclosure of that Suozzi transaction within 45 days.

Treasury bills

Suozzi's office did not dispute the other claims of inappropriate delays in reporting four other transactions - purchases each of between $1,001-$15,000 in U.S. Treasury bills, on Sept. 19, Sept. 26, Oct. 24, and Nov. 7.

Scrutiny on trading

This is not the first time Suozzi has missed disclosure deadlines, and he has drawn national headlines for doing so.

Criticisms of Suozzi for filing late periodic transaction reports even prompted a House ethics investigation that ultimately concluded in 2022 that his violations of the STOCK Act then were not "knowing or willful." More recently, he gained attention for a stock sale this year that allegedly took advantage of a disclosure loophole.

But this new scrutiny of Suozzi comes at a time of revived bipartisan efforts - that have been joined by Suozzi - to remake and strengthen the rules covering congressional stock trading. That includes public support by President Donald Trump of legislation to outright ban Congress from trading individual stocks.

"Suozzi's hypocrisy is unmatched, and voters see right through his charade," said NRCC spokesman O'Toole.

"He's pushing for legislation to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks, yet he continues to violate the STOCK Act ad nauseam," she said.
