Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego have asked for "an urgent inquiry" into whether President Trump or others engaged in insider trading on advanced knowledge of his tariff policy changes.

It’ll have to go through the courts to have any possibility of teeth. Even there the SCOTUS will crush it. Hell, at least 3 of the 5 on the right were likely in on it!
The public MUST be told. Every damn Congress-member should (likewise) be forced to present their 2024 end-of-year 2024 portfolio used for tax preparation along with each 2025 monthly statement.
EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM
We can ask questions all day but this administration is literally getting away with any and all illegal actions. Nobody is doing anything to lock people up. What's the point of even discussing it at this point? It's totally corrupt!
I believe that insider trading is not "an official act" and hence would not fall under presidential immunity. And whether a president can pardon himself is still an open question. Can a legal expert please clarify this?
Let's not kid ourselves. He didn't do any trades, his kids did. Business partners did. Ones who will randomly buy up Trump Coin in about 3 months.
He just enacted tariffs and then saved the country from tariffs. The supreme court will say it's all fine and above board, award worthy even.
BLATANT market manipulation! 🤬 He, his family & friends, Republicans in Congress loaded up. Absolutely BRAZEN b/c he knows he's untouchable. No one will stop him but We the People. Restoring democracy is not a spectator sport. When the house is on fire, grab a hose! ¡Viva la revolución!
Again you miss the story. There is 0 chance the Senators will succeed in getting the MAGA Senate to inquire into anything. The story is: 1) What r the Dem Senators gonna do after they are told "no." More shadow hearings for a good start. 2) Where does this fall in the big picture of MAGA corruption?
The funniest thing is that it took Trump this long to figure out that he could manipulate the stock market. Even in corruption his is a singular stupidity.
I don't think they need an inquiry when the 🤬🍊🤡🐷💩 sewer pus toolbag is blatantly bragging about it on camera! These grifters, including MTG, need to be held accountable. ACTION is needed not fucking inquiries and small talk. The writing is all over the wall, open your eyes! ACT! IMPEACH! ARREST! 🤬🤬🤬
It’s so painfully obvious, it’s right there on display for the whole world to see. No one in the administration is even trying to hide the insanely illegal and unethical things they’re doing.
So what? One thing we know now is Trump and minions can do absolutely anything, including ignoring the courts, with zero consequences. The judiciary is dead.
Y’all should be pursuading republicans colleagues, YOU should be leading protests, YOU ALL should be filibustering (doesn’t have to be 25 hrs) but waiting for a vote you can’t win is passive resistance! DO SOMETHING.
So the question is, if all the budget drama and massive destruction of programs for working class people to give the BILLIONAIRES TAX CUTS is a GOP Trump priority, why do we NOT think that the deliberate tanking of the markets through tariffs is to let the billionaires buy purposely deflated stocks?
And guess if this ever comes to fruition, Honorable Clarence Thomas will preside while shrimping Ginni’s pedi on his luxury RV Coach. Enough with the dog and pony show!
Gosh it's not like there's video of Trump gloating to billionaires in the oval, "He made $2.5b and he just made $900m!" Feels manipulated. One would even say rigged.
We Need Something comparable to the BAU (Criminal Behavioral Unit) to Start trying to Figure this Administration Out and Get Ahead of the Damage...NO JOKE! SUGGESTIONS?
With secure messaging platforms it's almost impossible to find a paper trail as the SEC would have done in the 1980s, so proving it is basically impossible. The only guardrail is the US voter not handing the keys to the bank to a gang of criminals and it's too late for that.
I think they should spend their time bringing back the people sold into slavery in El Salvador. Yes. It was insider trading. Nobody’s gonna be legally punished for that. It’s trump FFS! JFC! Get off your sanctimonious asses and help the people being tortured and murdered! Be human!
AT this point, who wouldn't think the entire governmental machine isn't involved in all things Wall Street ... constituents just a means to the end ... think I'm ready to just limp along on my own til I "leave" as I cannot imagine all this $#!%$ chaos will change at any time ... never ... ever ...
Unfortunately their idea of “urgent” and mine differ greatly. Mine means Now while theirs means months from Now. Pop always said “strike while the iron is hot!” Took me years to learn the value of that.
Trump is a lifelong grifter, a corrupt mafia boss, and a convicted felon (and let's not forget all those rape charges) ... of course he is manipulating the markets for his own gain ... and, as always, no one will do amything about it.
Who exactly is going to do this "inquiry"? Trump has purposely & systematically removed any sort of independent investigative agency heads and/or agencies from government. Shit - even one of this country's major political parties has ceded their power to him so?? Good luck Schiff & lots of try pal.
Of course they did, they're all saying that was the plan. They even did a mock trial run last week when they tweeted out a tariff pause and then retracted it. The market was effected then too.
It’s probably collusion not conspiracy, not insider trading. It’s your basic buy low sell high, not shorting a specific stock or telling a friend your company is going under.
But Trump knew what would happen though with the tarif announcements. He is guilty of not caring what happens to the 90%.
I think there is no doubt 👿This is his Tariff Plan!! He is doing all he can to eliminate everything that the working class has scrimped and saved, just to live!! Not to buy Mansions, Yachts or expensive vacations. Just to live a Decent life❣️He is an evil man 👺 Hitler will be waiting 👹
That you are even allowing for there to be a question, as we literally watched it happen, in real time, via social media and watching the bump literally just prior to the announcement, leaves me to wonder at bias...
Evidence counts. Actual evidence, poured over and picked over to eliminate any other explanation. Your opinion is not evidence. Try not to be such a Trumpist.
Even the maga people I work with (who talk about stocks/investing all the time) are questioning if there was insider trading! I’ll take small cracks in the maga armor as they happen!
States need to go after some of this. And it wasn't trump necessarily. All of the people that acted on the information should be worried. It's Conspiracy in a normal world.
They’ve done so many illegal things, do we even need to question whether they did? Also, it won’t matter. Don is Teflon. :( I miss the America where you couldn’t be President if you inhaled the marijuana.
He definitely did and they even have him on camera in the WH bragging about how much his buddies made with the 90 day pause. I read yesterday that MTG was part of it too and who knows how many in the conspiratorial circle were also in on it. Another criminal con
Fu&k you Schiff. Of course they engaged in insider trading. Nothing will happen as a result of your stupid inquiry. How about helping the people who have been illegally sent to El Salvador?

Stocks weren't going to move this much this fast and that's the key.
Bring on the volatility. Don't you agree?
We KNOW they did.
Just like we know they are traitors who colluded with Russians, but nothings been done about THAT either.
🤬
YES. They absolutely did.
