Democrats Call for Investigation Into Possible Stock Trades Tied to Tariff Move
Democrats in Congress on Thursday called for investigations into whether people close to the Trump administration profited by using non-public information to make trades in the hours before President Trump’s tariff policy change.
Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Ruben Gallego of Arizona called for the U.S. Office of Government Ethics to investigate which, if any, White House officials and Trump family members were aware of Trump’s plan to delay tariffs and whether they used that information to trade stocks. “The sequence of events raises grave legal and ethics concerns,” they said. Some House Democrats said they wanted similar disclosures from federal lawmakers. Congress passed a law in 2012 prohibiting members of Congress and their staff from using nonpublic information to trade stocks. Asked for comment on the Democrats’ calls for probes, a White House spokesman said that Democrats are “playing partisan games instead of celebrating President Trump’s decisive action yesterday to finally corner China.”

The administration under a Republican will always have these accusations from the Democrats and administration under the Democrats will have accusations from the Republicans. I am not arguing that these accusations are fake news, however, I am only arguing that these politicians in different parties are not friends.
