Marjorie Taylor Greene Profited from Tariff Pause

April 14, 2025 · 4:23 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) “disclosed on Monday that she had purchased between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock on April 8 and 9, the day before and the day of President Trump’s announcement that he was pausing a sweeping set of global tariffs, a pivot that sent the stock market soaring out of a sizable slump,” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Greene bought between about $21,000 and $315,000 in stocks on those days. The day before Mr. Trump’s move, she also dumped between $50,000 and $100,0000 in Treasury bills, according to required public disclosures made to the House.”
