This is an automatically generated screening and research aid, not certified enhanced due diligence. It is compiled from the official public sources cited on this page and reflects those sources as of the date shown — it is not legal advice and not a determination that this person presents, or does not present, risk. A PEP flag indicates a prominent public function requiring enhanced due diligence — a source-attributed classification, not an allegation of wrongdoing and not a sanction. Statements that nothing was found reflect our sources as of the check date and are not a clearance. The regulated institution remains solely responsible for its own due diligence, risk rating, senior-management approval, and source-of-funds verification. Verify independently.

S4 PEP classification & methodology
ClassificationLevel 2 (Legislature) — Senior officials one step below the apex — national/supranational legislators, ambassadors, deputy ministers, SOE leadership.us_congress_formersmethodology
A source-attributed classification requiring enhanced due diligence — not an allegation of wrongdoing and not a sanction. The public methodology (levels, branches, decay model) is linked in the source registry below.
Retention & decayOnce former, this classification is retained for 20 years after leaving office (the Level 2 retention window); this record is within that window. EU AMLD requires enhanced measures to continue for at least 12 months after a PEP leaves office; the retention windows applied here are deliberately longer.methodologyEU AMLD
S5 Sanctions & watchlist cross-check
No sanctions or watchlist match found in our resolved corpus for this record as of 2026-07-31 (list version us_congress_formers@2026-07-31). This is not a clearance: it reflects our sources and our precision-first resolution method, and does not discharge an institution's own screening obligations.
S6 Relatives & close associates (RCA)
No relatives or close associates are recorded in our sources as of 2026-07-31. This reflects our current source coverage — not a finding that none exist. FATF R.12 extends EDD obligations to relatives and close associates; institutions must establish these through their own KYC.
S7 Jurisdiction & country-risk context
Jurisdiction of office / nationalityUnited Statesus_congress_formers
FATF statusUnited States is not on the FATF Call-for-Action ("black") or Increased-Monitoring ("grey") lists as of 2026-06-19 (FATF Plenary, Paris, 17-19 June 2026; both statements checked). Source: FATF.FATF listFATF list
Corruption Perceptions IndexUnited States scores 64/100 in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 (rank 29; 100 = perceived cleanest) — a published perception measure of public-sector corruption in the jurisdiction. Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 (2026) by Transparency International, licensed under CC BY 4.0.TI CPI
Country-risk indicators are published facts about the jurisdiction of office — never a score of, or finding about, this person.
S8 EDD obligation indicators
Indicated EDD postureStandard EDD attention. A deterministic, non-numeric statement of which EDD obligations published regulation attaches to the published classification facts below — not a risk score, not a verdict on this person, and not a substitute for the institution's own risk rating.rubricFATF R.12
InputSeniority: Level 2 (Legislature).us_congress_formersmethodology
InputStatus: former office-holder, within the retention window.us_congress_formersmethodology
InputSanctions cross-check: no confirmed designation in our resolved corpus as of 2026-07-31 (see the cross-check section; not a clearance).
InputJurisdiction country-risk status: FATF/CPI indicators are reported in the jurisdiction & country-risk section above, but are not yet an input to this band derivation — rubric v1 derives from seniority, status, and the sanctions cross-check only (when country-risk becomes a rubric input, a FATF-listed jurisdiction elevates the band one step).
Rubric v1.0.0Band derivation (deterministic, code-owned): Level 1 → Higher, Level 2 → Elevated, Level 3/RCA → Standard; a former office-holder within the retention window steps down one band, past it rests at Standard; a resolver-confirmed designation always sets the top band; an unconfirmed status never lowers the band; jurisdiction country-risk indicators are reported in the jurisdiction section but are not yet a band input — FATF-listed-jurisdiction elevation lands with a future rubric version. No numeric score exists anywhere in this derivation.
FATF Recommendation 12 attaches four mandatory measures to foreign PEPs — risk-management systems to determine PEP status; senior-management approval; reasonable measures to establish source of wealth and funds; enhanced ongoing monitoring — and applies them to domestic PEPs and international-organisation officials on a risk-sensitive basis. Foreign-vs-domestic depends on the institution's own jurisdiction, which this report cannot know.FATF R.12
The institution's own risk rating, senior-management approval, and source-of-funds verification remain its sole responsibility (standing notice above).
S9 Source of wealth / source of funds
Not assessed. Source-of-wealth and source-of-funds verification are obligations the regulated institution performs on customer-provided information (FATF R.12(c); EU AMLR Art. 42). They cannot be supplied by a screening-data vendor and are outside the scope of this screening aid.
S10 Adverse media
Not assessed. This report does not include adverse-media screening as of 2026-07-31. The absence of adverse-media content here is not a clean bill and does not discharge an institution's own negative-news screening.
S11 Ongoing monitoring & freshness

What changes here: the report regenerates whenever this record's source data changes, in the same daily refresh that drives customer re-screening; unchanged data produces a byte-identical report.
