Investigate Trump Family Trading on Presidential Inside Information

Investigate the Trump family's financial activities and support legislation closing the presidential insider trading loophole. Trump himself admitted on CNBC that his children possess "inside information" because of his presidency — that's not a defense, it's a confession. Insider trading laws exist precisely to prevent this kind of advantage, and the presidency does not exempt anyone from them. Trump's 2025 financial disclosure reported $2.2 billion in income — triple the $622 million from 2024 — with $1.4 billion tied to his own meme coin and a family-backed crypto firm called World Liberty Financial. His administration is simultaneously pushing to loosen crypto regulations. That is a textbook conflict of interest. Treasury Secretary Bessent sees no "appearance problem" here, but the law doesn't hinge on appearances — it hinges on whether material non-public information drives financial gain. The evidence that it does is sitting in a public disclosure with over 21,000 individual trades. No president's family should be able to profit from policies their father controls. Hold hearings, demand accountability, and close this loophole before it becomes permanent precedent.
