I thought members of congress were exempted from insider trading laws.

And no, I’m not being sarcastic. I know it used to be true. Not sure if the law has changed since then.

Not anymore they aren’t. After Pelosi was exposed in 2011 trading on insider info, the public outcry was enough that they passed the Stock act of 2012 which Obama signed into law which made it illegal but did that stop Pelosi? Of course not!
