Josh Hawley: Members of Congress need to end personal stock trading while in office
Fox News
The Missouri Republican reacted on Wednesday night's 'The Ingraham Angle' to news about big-money deals by the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
U.S. SEN. JOSH HAWLEY, R-MO.: I think when it comes to Congress, one of the most basic things that we should be able to expect … that voter-citizens ought to be able to expect, is that people who go to Congress have got to be focused on actually doing what the people want and not on lining their own pockets and padding their own wallets – which is why I think it’s time to ban stock trading by members of Congress.
It’s not too much to say that if you go to Congress, you should either do what most Americans do, which is to put their savings into broad-based mutual funds or put them in a blind trust.
