Congress Faces Billion-Dollar Stock Trading Scrutiny as Trump Trades More

Original: Congress Has a Billion-Dollar Stock Trading Problem. President Trump Trades Three Times the Amount.

Lawmakers in Congress are facing renewed scrutiny over stock trading by members, with watchdog Common Cause estimating the problem is worth billions of dollars. The group notes that President Trump's own trading activity is reportedly three times that amount, intensifying debate over conflicts of interest and calls to ban or restrict stock trading by elected officials.

Why now: Growing public pressure for legislation restricting congressional stock trading and concern over Trump's own investments.
