Claimant: Ed Markey (D)
Claim: Seth Moulton “has taken advantage of sweetheart deal opportunities” to invest in companies that appear before his Armed Services Committee and has “reaped millions” from them.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Moulton owns stakes worth at least $1 million in startups that later developed defense-sector connections. However, the gains are unrealized, the companies reportedly did not have defense ties when the investments were made, and Moulton’s campaign said he has no day-to-day role in managing them.
