Democrats insist that Congress investigate President Donald Trump's administration over its actions just before announcing a 90-day reprieve on his so-called retaliatory tariffs this week.
Trump on Wednesday announced that every country except China would receive a 90-day delay on the tariffs, with a 10% baseline on countries subject to the pause. This was a reversal from top aides who had claimed there would be no negotiations.
China faced a tariff of 125% from the United States before the White House announced on Thursday that the rate was 145%.
The 90-day pause announcement led to a stock market surge, with the S&P 500 adding 473.13 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 2,962.86 points, and the Nasdaq Composite adding 1,857.06 points on Wednesday.
Just before the president’s announcement, Trump took to social media to encourage followers to invest in the stock market.
“BE COOL!” Trump admonished the public.
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT,” he also wrote on Truth Social.
But Democrats are now claiming that Trump was allegedly engaging in insider trading with the post.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced an investigation into whether members of the Trump administration illegally profited from the stock market.
“So the question is, between that tweet and Donald Trump's announcement that he was reducing the tariffs on most other nations, apart from China,” said Schiff in a video post. “Question is: Who knew what the president was going to do, and did people around the president trade stock knowing the incredible gyration the market was about to go through?”
Schiff and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) sent a letter requesting an investigation to Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, and Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative. Greer was caught off guard by Trump's tariff pause as he testified before a House committee.

Hey Schiff, Im still waiting for answers as to why you went to Ed Bucks apt FIFTEEN TIMES care to answer
Dems always accuse their enemy of doing what they themselves are doing. ALWAYS.
To buy what exactly?
End of argument
Oh? You mean like Pelosi et al?
Far-left maggots bringing these allegations without any evidence need their asses sued into oblivion. Especially that racist, low I.Q. cotton ball, Miss Jazzy Crockette. Miss Cotton Ball 2025.
Hey Schiffty! Kiss it! You swine. You should be on Da View with the rest of the hoggs.
“White House..insider trading”
So now we have artificially intelligent buildings that can trade in the stock market?
Lol.
He’s following the same playbook as the last time Trump was in office. Always always with this guy is the search for the latest Russiagate style scandal.
Not going to work this time.
Also a great time to open a wider investigation into DC insider trading. They might regret having made this accusation.
That which you are guilty of, you accuse your would be accuser, thus insulating yourself from your own wrong deeds. The news media is lazy and greedy. They will report what's easiest and pays best, so make it easy by handing them their own press releases and bribes to the management.
Schiff may be one of the worst scumbags in office.
Yep. 😆
He should be in prison with all the rest of the crooks and degenerates.
It’s well past time some AG somewhere give this guy a legal rectal exam. He’s bound to have a couple of skeletons in his closet.
One of my best friends has his own customs brokerage firm. The recent frequent changes have basically torpedoed his business. It is basically impossible for his company to keep up with the frequent changes.
He is a huge Trump supporter despite the challenges this is causing him. He felt that the huge exercises by the Chinese military that surrounded the entire island of Taiwan were likely to turn into a full invasion. But he feels that the looming trade war put a halt to these plans because of the major turmoil now being caused in China by President Trumps actions.
I thought that’s what bondi/Kash/Bongino were hired for
But they have no receipts ... just standing there with their dicks hanging out.
REALLY RICH, CONSIDERING HOW RICH DEMS LIKE PELOSI ARE
