97 members of Congress traded stock in possible conflict of interest

Nearly 100 members of Congress bought or sold financial assets that intersected with the work of the committees they sit on, according to a New York Times

Of the 435 House members, 183 traded stocks through themselves or their immediate family members from 2019 to 2021. At least 97 bought or sold stocks, bonds or other financial assets through themselves or their spouses that directly intersected with their congressional work.

US lawmakers are not yet banned from making any stock trades, though insider trading is illegal for everyone.
