Democratic Lawmaker Chased Profit During Pandemic

“In the early days of the pandemic, Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) scolded those looking to capitalize on the once-in-a-century health crisis,” the AP reports.

Said Malinowski: “This is not the time for anybody to be profiting off of selling ventilators, vaccines, drugs, treatments, PPE, anywhere in the world.”

“He did not heed his own admonition. Since early 2020, Malinowski has bought or sold as much as $1 million of stock in medical and tech companies that had a stake in the virus response… The trades were just one slice of a stock buying and selling spree by the congressman during that time, worth as much as $3.2 million, that he did not properly disclose.”
