I’m writing as a concerned constituent regarding recent reports that former President Trump’s announcement to pause tariffs for most countries—excluding China—coincided with a significant, unusually timed surge in stock market activity. This raises serious concerns about potential insider trading or market manipulation. I urge you to support an investigation into this matter. The American people deserve to know whether non-public information was improperly shared or used for personal gain. No one should be above the law, and our markets must be protected from manipulation—especially by those in or close to power. Regardless of political affiliation, ethical governance and transparent economic policymaking are critical to maintaining public trust in both our institutions and financial systems. Thank you for your time and your commitment to accountability.
