#CongressTradingBan 📉 The Stock Trading Scandal in Congress Ignites Controversy Again
Calls to ban stock trading among members of Congress have resurfaced after it was revealed that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene purchased stocks worth up to $315,000 before former President Donald Trump's announcement of a temporary suspension of tariffs, leading to a significant market surge. This incident has raised accusations of market manipulation and the exploitation of insider information for personal gain. In this context, a new bill known as the "Ending Stock Trading in Congress Act" (H.R.1908) has been introduced, aiming to prevent members of Congress and their families from trading stocks while in public office. This development is seen as a step towards enhancing transparency and trust in legislative institutions.
