Pelosi Faces Insider Trading Questions Amid Congressional Stock Deal Debate

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared visibly agitated and annoyed during multiple interviews when confronted about President Donald Trump’s accusations that she engaged in insider trading to become wealthy. Pelosi dismissed the allegations as "ridiculous" and accused Trump of projecting his own issues, emphasizing her support for legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress and their spouses. Trump publicly called for Pelosi to be investigated, citing her unusually high stock market returns and claiming she profited from inside information, while Pelosi refused to address these claims in detail, instead redirecting focus to the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. Critics have pointed to Pelosi's husband’s lucrative stock trades, often around significant legislative events, fueling calls from watchdog groups and bipartisan lawmakers for stricter regulations or bans on congressional stock trading. Despite the scrutiny, Pelosi maintains her innocence and stresses that any wrongdoing should be prosecuted. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over ethics and transparency for elected officials regarding financial investments.
