The trades, collectively valued between roughly $70,000 and $1.1 million, included transactions in Raytheon while Moore sat on the House Armed Services Committee and seven transactions in Alibaba, a Chinese company with reported ties to the Chinese Communist Party. On July 29, 2021, the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) over the violations.
