US Senate blocks bill to limit lawmakers' stock trading
Original: US Senate blocks bill to limit stock trading by lawmakers
The US Senate has blocked legislation that would have restricted stock trading by members of Congress. The bill, long pushed by critics who argue lawmakers should not trade individual stocks while holding access to non-public information, failed to advance. Supporters of stricter ethics rules expressed disappointment, and the issue is expected to remain a point of debate over congressional accountability.
Why now: Fresh legislative failure on a high-profile ethics issue draws attention to congressional conflict-of-interest concerns
