In response to President Trump's fluctuating tariffs that impacted market conditions, lawmakers, particularly Democrats, are advocating for stricter regulations against insider trading among federal policymakers. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the need for transparency, suggesting that Congress members disclose recent stock purchases linked to the market changes. Sen. Adam Schiff raised concerns about possible manipulation of the markets by Trump and called for investigations into potential insider trading activities that could benefit lawmakers. This growing concern highlights the political implications of stock trading by those in power during volatile market conditions.
"Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs. These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading."
"Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now."
