“Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders are working on a ban on members of Congress and senior staff trading stocks,” Punchbowl News reports.
“This Democratic package is expected to include new restrictions on investments for federal judges as well, sources told us. In addition, the Democratic leadership is eyeing increases in the fines for lawmakers who are late in filing their annual financial disclosure reports.”
“Sources involved in these discussions say that the details are still very fluid. But House Democrats plan to move on it this year.”
“Even proposing this shows how the issue has huge momentum in a pivotal election year, with both the House and Senate up for grabs.”
