Anyone searching for missing Congressman Tom Kean Jr. over the past several weeks has come up empty. But if you search ‘Tom Kean Jr. stock trading’ on Google… the results are piling up. 

wave of news coverage is scrutinizing Kean Jr. for trading stocks while missing more than 100 votes in Washington – noting that the congressman has personally affixed his digital signature on the stock disclosure forms.

See the coverage for yourself:

MS NOW Anchor: “Kean also still appears to be trading stocks, that’s interesting. NOTUS reports he electronically signed and certified a congressional disclosure document indicating he made several personal stock trades during mid-to-late April.”

READ:

“…it’s the second time in two months he’s filed a congressional stock disclosure form—while missing more than 100 votes since he last voted March 5.”

“Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ) has missed over 100 votes in the House due to an undisclosed illness, but the New Jersey Republican is still tending to his finances. Kean, 57, has not voted in the House since March 5, but financial disclosures show that the lawmaker has certified 13 stock trades since March 10.”

“Aside from the stock trading, Kean has also continued to send out newsletters, signed off on travel expenses to Las Vegas for staff, and himself used Amtrak and rideshare apps in San Francisco—far away from his home district, and well into his mysterious absence.”
