BTCCSquare news:
An unlikely coalition of lawmakers spanning the political spectrum is rallying behind a bill to prohibit members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks. The proposal, which polls favorably with voters, addresses longstanding concerns about conflicts of interest given lawmakers' access to non-public information that could influence markets.
Moderate Republican Brian Fitzpatrick highlighted the rare bipartisan nature of the effort, noting the diverse group of supporters. The House bill follows similar Senate legislation that WOULD extend the ban to future presidents and vice presidents, though current executive branch officials remain exempt.
