US Senator Reintroduces PELOSI Act to Ban Congress From Stock Trading
US Senator Josh Hawley has reignited efforts to curb congressional stock trading with the reintroduction of the PELOSI Act. The legislation, which targets conflicts of interest among elected officials, draws its name from Nancy Pelosi—a figure synonymous with political wealth accumulation through market activity.
Former President Donald Trump previously endorsed similar measures, signaling potential bipartisan support. The move underscores growing scrutiny over lawmakers’ financial dealings amid rising public distrust in government transparency.
