Pelosi supports the ban on stock trade
D-Calif, a former spokesman for the House of Representatives, supported a ban on trading in Congress on Wednesday after a Senate committee voted with difficulty to enhance the proposal of the two parties.
The sincere law, presented by Senator Josh Holie (R-MO), was originally called the elected leaders of owning securities and investments, or Pelosi, a law to the criticism that Pelosi faced to circulate her broad husband.
However, working with the Democrats, Holi dropped the controversial name and expanded the legislator’s ban to apply to future presidents and vice -presidents as well.
Pelosi described the changes to the legislation and said it was “strongly” supporting and looking to vote for her when she arrives at the House of Representatives Hall.
“If the legislation is developed to help restore confidence in the government and make sure that those in power are kept according to the highest moral standards, then I am proud to support it – regardless of what they decide to call,” Pelosi said in a statement.
“While I can create my Republican colleagues in formulating legislative shortcuts, I welcome any serious effort to raise moral standards in public service.” “The sincere verb, in its modified form, applies the right to ban stock trade not only to members of Congress, but now the president and vice president as well.”
The Holi Bill has been submitted with the support of all Democrats and the absence of other Republicans in the committee.
The move comes amid renewed efforts in Congress to pass the stock trading ban, a proposal with the support of the broad parts of the audience.
President Trump said in April that he would “absolutely sign” a ban on trading in Congress if he encounters his office, and on Tuesday, he said he “will look” at the bill, adding, “But from a conceptual point of view, I love it.”
On Wednesday, however, it hit a different melody, and was sharply criticized for a vote with Democrats to strengthen the bill.
Pelosi dropped her opposition to the legislation that prevents members of Congress from trading stocks in 2022.
