Markwayne Mullin "bought between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of shares in each of 3 defense / oil companies before strikes

[Miles Archer]

According to an exclusive report from the Daily Beast, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) purchased “substantial positions” in defense contractor RTX Corp. and oil giants Chevron and ConocoPhillips shortly before U.S. military operations in Venezuela and Iran.

Financial disclosures show that on Dec. 29, 2025, Mullin bought between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of shares in each of the three companies. Five days later, U.S. forces launched Operation Absolute Resolve against Venezuela.

By Jan 20, Chevron had climbed by roughly 9.5%, while RTX rose about 6%, the report noted.

“Based on those federal disclosure filings and publicly available share price data, Mullin made up to $35,050 from the trio of positions by Monday,” the Daily Beast reported. “That’s equal to around 20 percent of his $174,000 annual Senate salary, or approximately to what the average American earns in six months, according to Forbes.”
