Trump blasts Pelosi couple for possibly using insider information for trading and suggests investigation

On that day, the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee passed the 'Pelosi Act', proposed by Republican Senator Josh Hawley, with a vote of 8 to 7. The core content of the act is to prohibit members of Congress, the President, the Vice President, and other federal high-ranking officials from buying and selling stocks and other financial securities to eliminate public doubts. While Trump expressed support for the legislation, he called for an investigation into Pelosi, condemning her means of accumulating wealth as 'shameful' and asserting that she became rich through insider information.

In an interview with CNN, Pelosi denied Trump's related accusations, calling them 'ridiculous', and stated that stock trading is completely operated independently by her husband Paul, with no relation to insider information.

Public records show that Paul Pelosi's financial transactions from 2019 to 2021 amounted to between $25 million and $81 million, and in 2024, his expected return on investment portfolio is 54%, which is more than twice the increase of the S&P 500 index. This is also the main reason why the public frequently questions whether the Pelosi couple is involved in insider trading.
