Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who was removed from his post by the Trump administration last week, was overseeing an investigation into stock trades made by the president’s health secretary, according to a person familiar with the office.
Tom Price, head of the Department of Health and Human Services, came under scrutiny during his confirmation hearings for investments he made while serving in Congress. The Georgia lawmaker traded hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shares in health-related companies, even as he voted on and sponsored legislation affecting the industry.
Price testified at the time that his trades were lawful and transparent. Democrats accused him of potentially using his office to enrich himself. One lawmaker called for an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, citing concerns Price could have violated the STOCK Act, a 2012 law signed by President Obama that clarified that members of Congress cannot use nonpublic information for profit and requires them to promptly disclose their trades.
The investigation of Price’s trades by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which hasn’t been previously disclosed, was underway at the time of Bharara’s dismissal, said the person.

OMG! That’s RICH coming from those loathsome creatures!
Nancy Pelosi net worth 196 million dollars
One: How was this leaked? We still have a ‘sieve’ in the Swamp...
Two: Why was he investigating this man? Did Schumer pay him to do this to keep the ‘off shore’ bonds out of the news? (Ops to late, that was reported on yesterday)...
Three: This was one man that President Trump wanted, you don’t mess with Trump!!!
Now Preet, I used to think a lot of you, but now your no different than the rest of the rats in New York City, go live with the Clinton Rats, that’s how low you are!!!
i believe most if not all of the trades were in a managed account -trades are not directed by the client, but by a money manager
Why in NY versus Georgia?
It was brought up during the confirmation hearings. We don’t know if Preet was investigating. There is so much crap being thrown out there. It’s disgusting
A lot of things will be attributed to him in order to attribute nefarious mindset to Mr. Trump.
Because dems are not subject to laws. Dems MAKE laws to subject other people.
We may well find Andy McCabe was directing Preet out of the NY FBI office. He had to stay in DC to keep all eyes on Comey, who I believed was tasked with getting rid of McCabe. DJT can’t fire ‘em BOTH at the same time.
Why not? He’s the President...the other President did what he wanted to do and I didn’t hear any one saying he couldn’t...did you???
Well, he has to find the *right* replacement for McCabe, then six months later the *right* replacement for Comey. Unless Comey decides to pan out once his dept. is cleaned up.
Good what a pri - k! Can them all!
Cause they own the town.
(To paraphrase Scott Brown)
Remember, President Trump told us in his inaugural address that he was returning the power in Washington to the people.
Where was he on Weiner and Hill??
What is this, Billions?
