Senator Josh Hawley's bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress, including presidents and vice presidents, has drawn criticism from President Trump. Although the bill does not retroactively apply to current officials, Trump expressed strong disapproval, questioning Hawley's motives and collaboration with Democrats. The bill's advancement in committee occurred without an amendment aimed at reviewing Nancy Pelosi's stock trading. Hawley remains committed to securing Trump's approval for the bill despite the backlash from the President, emphasizing a desire for bipartisan support.
"I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with - He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Why would one 'Republican,' Senator Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosi's Stock Trading over the last 25 years," Trump wrote.
