GOP Lawmaker Made Millions Trading Around Tariffs

May 13, 2025 · 4:26 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“A freshman Republican congressman made millions of dollars in personal stock trades as financial markets plunged during the days immediately following President Donald Trump’s April 2 ‘Liberation Day’ tariff binge,” NOTUS reports.

“Rep. Jefferson Shreve of Indiana, one of Congress’ wealthiest members, made more than 140 individual stock purchases and sales between April 7 and April 17 — some of them in companies that fall within the jurisdiction of one of his committees, the records indicate.”

“Shreve traded between $3.44 million and $9.45 million worth of stocks in that April period.”
