Booker: Congress Should Hold Hearings on Insider Trading During Trump Tariffs
Breitbart ^ | 04/13/2025 | Pam Key

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there was “enough of an offense” to trigger congressional hearings questioning whether anyone traded improperly after President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements.

Host Kristen Welker said, “Some of your Democratic colleagues are actually calling for an investigation into whether or not there was insider trading.

Do you believe that democrats have any real evidence that anyone in the administration profited off of the president’s policies and announcements, or is this just a fishing expedition?”

THIS IS HILARIOUS-—INSIDER TRADING HAS BEEN PELOSI’S STOCK IN TRADE-—ALSO FOR MANY DEMS.

HILLARY ‘INVESTED’ $1000 on a MONDAY IN “CATTLE FUTURES” & COLLECTED $100,000 on the following FRIDAY.

I’m good with this as long as Pelosi and all members of Congress first submit detailed financial disclosures regarding their insider trading. Then we’ll talk, but you must start to demonstrate sincerity.

Congress exempted its members from insider trading laws.

Executive branch members are not exempt.

I agree. "Congress Should Hold Hearings on Insider Trading" with ALL senators, all Congresspersons and all Congressional staffers. Each and every one. Starting with the wealthiest and working down from there.

Does he really want to go there? This could have been a plan all along.
