President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be the subject of an insider trading investigation as a ban on congressional stock trading advances in the Senate.
“Nancy Pelosi should be investigated. She has the highest return of anybody, practically in the history of Wall Street, save a few,” he told reporters. “How did that happen? She knows exactly what’s gonna happen! … she buys stock and then the stock goes up after the announcement’s made.”
Pelosi’s success in investing is well-known to the point that the NANC ETF attempts to mirror the investments of the California Democrat and other elected leaders.
Trump’s comments followed a congressional stock trading ban clearing a Senate committee the same day.
