Trump Attacks Hawley Over Congressional Stock Trading Ban | JQJO

President Trump attacked Senator Josh Hawley after Hawley's bipartisan bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress advanced in committee. Trump criticized Hawley for blocking an amendment investigating Speaker Emerita Pelosi's stock trades. The "Honest Act," sponsored by Hawley and Senator Gary Peters, would ban stock trading by Congress members, the president, and vice president. While some Republicans sought exemptions for the president, the bill passed committee with bipartisan support, despite Trump's objections and criticism of the process. This follows Trump's earlier criticism of Senator Chuck Grassley.
