#CongressTradingBan The hashtag #CongressTradingBan has gained significant traction following recent events that have intensified scrutiny over lawmakers' financial activities.

Recent Developments:

Controversial Stock Trades: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is under scrutiny for purchasing substantial amounts of stock in major companies like Apple, Amazon, FedEx, and Nike on April 8 and 9, just before former President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on international tariffs. This announcement led to a significant market surge. Critics allege the timing suggests insider advantage, though Greene claims her investments are managed by a financial advisor under a fiduciary agreement and disclosed transparently.

Legislative Responses: In response to such incidents, bipartisan efforts are underway to curb stock trading by members of Congress.
