Briefly

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene made substantial stock purchases totaling between $21,000 and $315,000 shortly before President Trump's announcement on pausing global tariffs—a move that significantly boosted the stock market. On the eve of the announcement, she also sold between $50,000 and $100,000 in Treasury bills.

Her purchases included stocks in major companies like Apple, contributing to a potential insider trading controversy.
