Pelosi Cool to Limiting Stock Trades of Lawmakers

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she trusts her members not to do anything improper while trading stocks — but also pledged to “review all the bills that are coming in and see where the support is in our caucus” for banning that practice among sitting members of Congress, Politico reports.

Said Pelosi: “To give a blanket attitude of we can’t do this and we can’t do that because we can’t be trusted, I just don’t buy into that. But if the members want to do that, I’m okay with it.”
