Bess’s Rips Pelosi, calls for a mono -stock trading in Congress
Treasury Secretary, Scott Beesen, called for a ban on legislators who traded individual shares, as they took a shot for the former spokesperson Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) and the Sunarat Ron Widen (D-Or) in this process.
“I will start pressing a mono -stock trade, because it is the credibility of the House of Representatives and the Senate,” Pesin said on Wednesday on Bloomberg TV.
“You look at some of the returns of these defects-whether MP Pelosi, Senator and Eden-every hedge box will be jealous of them. The American people deserve better than this,” Besin added.
His comments come as a momentum in order to ban the members of the individual arrows traded in Congress have risen amid increased general scrutiny in stock deals. The current law prohibits internal circulation by legislators and requires more disclosure, but critics say that the law does not go to a large extent.
“People should not come to Washington to get wealth, they must come to serve the American people, and this worries the regime because I can tell you that if any citizen is traded in this way, then the Supreme Education Council is [Securities and Exchange Commission] “He will knock on their door.”
Pelosi was subjected to saying that the most scrutiny in the successful deals of her husband, Paul Pelosi, who is asked to report financial disclosures.
“The spokesman Pelosi does not have any shares and has no knowledge or subsequent participation in any transactions,” Pelosi Ian Cragher spokesman told Hill in response to Bessent.
It also supported a draft law submitted by the Internal Security and Government Affairs Committee in the Senate last month that would only prohibit members, their husbands, and their children who are accommodated from buying shares and trading, but also the president and vice president. Since the condition will not be applied until the beginning of the next conditions for elected officials, President Trump exempts if he is yearned.
Trump said he would support the ban on stock trade, but he attacked Senator Josh Holie (R-MO) for his support for the draft law. Holie later said Trump was under the wrong impression that he would apply to him.
In the House of Representatives, members of both parties called for a ban on stock trade, as Representative Anna Polina Luna pledged.
Meanwhile, the Wyden shares portfolio witnessed an amazing profit of 123.8 percent in 2024, according to data from the financial analysis platform reported in the Salem Business Journal.
In response to Bessin’s comments, Widin pointed out a report issued by the New York Times that the government ethics office had not fully complied with an agreement to strip its financial assets.
“Nobody works with Donald Trump has any work that pretends to take care of ethics or ban the stocks that I support. If Scott Bessent gives the curse on the public interest, then why does he keep a huge farm that puts him in a position that allows him to gain from Trump’s commercial deals with China?” Eden posted on X.
Widan added: “Bessant smokes that I blew the whistle on the fact that he is hiding a huge file for Epstein in the Treasury. Thousands of pages deserve the records of the Ibstein Bank with names.
Not only Democrats who have been scrutinized, though.
A report issued by the Parliament’s Ethics Committee found last month that Representative Mike Kelly (R-VA) violated the Chamber of Chamber’s Chamber’s Blind when his wife traded the stocks to a company in the Kelly region after a member of Congress learned in general information about the company.
Representative Rob Bricanohan (R-PA) has acquired heat to continue trade although he said he wanted to ban the trading of members.
Bresnahan submitted a draft law prohibiting stock trading and says he has no participation with the deals made by his financial advisers on his behalf. While he said that he wanted to keep his current financial advisers and create blind confidence that would put a striking Wall between him and those deals, he found problems in formulating this plan with the Parliament Ethics Committee.
