Trump Media asks lawmakers to investigate possible "unlawful trading activity" in its DJT stock

Trump Media & Technology Group is asking lawmakers to investigate what it claims is "potential manipulation" of its stock, which trades under the ticker DJT – the same as the initials of former President Donald Trump. 

In an April 23 letter, Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman from California, asked several House committees to "open an investigation of anomalous trading of DJT." 

The committees Nunes asked to look into the issue are the House Committee on the Judiciary; its Committee on Financial Services; its Committee on Ways and Means; and the Committee on Oversight and Reform.
