Trump’s call for Congress stock ban draws bipartisan support
Trump calls for Congress to ban stock trading by lawmakers, drawing bipartisan support. The proposal would prohibit members of Congress and possibly top aides from trading individual stocks while in office.
Several bills addressing the issue have been introduced, with varying scopes and penalties. The most broadly supported measure stops short of a full prohibition, aiming instead to impose stricter disclosures and temporary bans around insider information.
The debate continues as lawmakers weigh integrity, oversight, and potential market effects, with negotiations reflecting broader concerns about accessibility and trust in government.
