Speaker Mike Johnson says he’s ‘in favor’ of ban on inventory buying and selling for members of Congress

Speaker Mike Johnson stated he’s “in favor” of a ban on inventory buying and selling for members of Congress.

“I don’t think we should have any appearance of impropriety … It’s been abused in the past, and I think sadly, a few bad actors discolor it for everyone.”

The push to ban members of Congress from buying and selling particular person shares has gained consideration in recent times. Lawmakers are prohibited from buying and selling on insider data. There is a brand new push to forestall members of Congress from profiting off nonpublic data offered to lawmakers.
