Trump Demands Probe Into Nancy Pelosi’s Alleged Insider Trading—Will It Stick?
Political fireworks erupt as Trump targets Pelosi with insider trading claims—just another day in Washington's financial circus.
Subheader: The Accusation That Won't Die
Former President Trump doubles down on calls to investigate Nancy Pelosi's stock moves, reigniting debates over congressional trading ethics. No evidence provided—just classic DC theater.
Subheader: Trading Blows in the Beltway
Pelosi’s portfolio outperforms the S&P 500 (again), while retail traders eat ramen. Coincidence? Probably not—but good luck proving it in a town where insider knowledge is the ultimate crypto pump-and-dump.
Closer: Whether this gains traction or fizzles, one thing’s clear—politicians play by different rules. Meanwhile, the SEC still can’t spot a rug pull if it’s wearing a ‘totally legit DeFi project’ t-shirt.
Pelosi supports stock trading ban legislation
Sen. Josh Hawley introduced the bill that bars members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks.
Nancy Pelosi has spoken out in favor of the HONEST Act, which WOULD make it illegal for members of Congress to trade stocks. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee recently moved the bill forward.

Pelosi said in a statement that it is important for public representatives to be open and honest about their business dealings. She remarked, “The American people deserve confidence that their elected leaders are serving the public interest — not their personal portfolios.”
However, the law has changed. It now includes the President and Vice President under the stock trading restriction, not just members of Congress. Pelosi said she strongly supports the plan and is looking forward to voting for it when it comes to the House floor.
Pelosi said, “I am proud to support it, no matter what they decide to call it,” referring to the acronym that her Republican colleagues chose for the bill.
Insider information in play
Last year, Paul, Pelosi’s husband portfolio that did better than any major hedge fund. Their investments had a huge 54% return, which is more than twice as much as the S&P 500’s 25% increase.
The couple made several suspicious deals that raised questions. One. Paul sold 5,000 Microsoft shares in July, months before the Federal Trade Commission said it was looking into the corporation for antitrust issues.
In addition, he sold 2,000 Visa shares months before the Justice Department sued the corporation for allegedly having a monopoly on the debit card market.
In February, the couple spent between $600,000 $1.25 million for a call option on Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity startup. That same week, the WHITE House told Congress about a major national security concern that had to do with Russia. In the days that followed, the shares went up by almost 20%.
They also bought call options on Nvidia for $12 a share when the stock price was over $120. As a result, they earned a casual $7.2 million win on a $2.4 million bet.
In January, the couple bought call options on Tempus AI. The little-known AI health company just so happened to sign a $200 million deal with AstraZeneca. The price of the shares went up by two times.
The couple also bought call options on Vistra, an energy firm. Last month, the stock price shot up after the company announced that it had struck a deal for around $2 billion to buy natural gas facilities all across the US.
At this point, the Hedge fund managers might want to stop reading strategy books and start following PelosiTracker on social media. However, Trump poses a question, “She has the highest return of practically anybody in the history of Wall Street… How did that happen?”
