Trump Calls for Pelosi Insider Trading Probe Amid Stock Ban Legislation

President Donald Trump has called for an investigation into Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi's stock trading activities, alleging she profited from insider information while in Congress. Trump criticized Pelosi for accumulating significant wealth through stock trades made with knowledge of forthcoming announcements, which he described as disgraceful. Pelosi and her husband have faced longstanding scrutiny over their stock market activities, particularly in tech stocks, though her office denies any wrongdoing and states she has no involvement in specific transactions. Pelosi has expressed strong support for legislation banning stock trading by members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, such as the HONEST Act introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley, aimed at increasing transparency and ethical standards. Trump expressed cautious support for the bill but emphasized his call for Pelosi's investigation. The bill, which would restrict stock trading among high-ranking officials including the President and Vice President, is being advanced in Congress amid ongoing debates about ethical conduct and insider trading concerns.
