The Trump administration's recent tariff decisions and accompanying market fluctuations raise serious concerns about potential insider trading and market manipulation. The president's Truth Social post urging followers to buy stocks just hours before announcing the sudden pause on most retaliatory tariffs is highly concerning conduct. An independent congressional investigation is warranted to examine whether anyone in the administration had prior knowledge of this policy reversal and improperly traded stocks based on that non-public information for personal financial gain. The public deserves full transparency and accountability to maintain faith in the integrity of our markets and economic leadership. A thorough, impartial inquiry is necessary to uphold ethical standards and the rule of law.
