E4 Statement of Commissioner Robert J. Jackson, Jr. on His Tenure as an SEC Commissioner U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission · 14 February 2020
“Today is my last day as a Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.”
Reasoning
An SEC press release says Robert J. Jackson Jr. was sworn in as an SEC Commissioner on January 11, 2018 (E1). The SEC's biography of Jackson says he served as Commissioner from January 11, 2018 to February 14, 2020 (E3). His own statement dated February 14, 2020, published by the SEC, says that day was his last as a Commissioner (E4). The SEC's historical list of commissioners gives the same dates (E2). Together, these SEC records match both dates in the claim.
