New SEC filings indicate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - much like other Members of Congress - has traded individual stocks in the leadup to grants that were federally approved for the very companies she was trading.
This includes Microsoft and gaming platform Roblox.
This is something that became an issue during the leadup to the pandemic when reports emerged that the Senate had a closed door briefing about the severity of the pandemic early on in 2020. And during that time several senators apparently traded stocks which led to quite a win in the stock market.
The latest info shows to what extent these lawmakers used their inside knowledge to make decisions about the stock market that they were invested in.
Twitter user unusual whales points out that Pelosi 'just exercised 10 million in $MSFT shares on 03/19. $MSFT then launched a 22 [billion] military deal. She sits directly on relevant committees."
The twitter account also shared pictures of the receipts showing the purchases.
