Trump Says He’d Sign Bill to Ban Congressional Stock Trades
In a newly published interview, President Donald Trump stated he would “absolutely” sign legislation banning stock trading by members of Congress if such a bill reached his desk.
“I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send that to me, I would do it” Trump told in a conversation focused on his first 100 days back in office.
When asked directly if he would sign a bill banning congressional stock trading, Trump doubled down: “Absolutely.”
The push to prohibit lawmakers from trading stocks has gained bipartisan momentum in recent years, though no legislation has made it through both chambers of Congress.
The issue flared in 2022 when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reversed her earlier opposition to such a ban, amid scrutiny of her husband Paul Pelosi’s profitable trading history.
