Tom Price: ‘I Have Had No Conversations with My Broker About Any Political Activity at All’

‘I didn’t know any of those trades were being made’

EXCERPT: 
MURPHY: "Do you direct your broker around ethical guidelines? Do you tell him, for instance, not to invest in companies that are directly connected to your advocacy? It seems like a great deal as a broker. He can just sit back, take a look —"
PRICE: "She. She can sit back."
MURPHY: "She can sit back in this case, look at the legislative positions you are taking, and invest in companies that she thinks are going to increase in value based on your legislative activities and you can claim separation from that because you didn't have a conversation."
PRICE: "That’s a nepharius arrangement that I’m really astounded by. The fact of the matter is that I have had no conversations with my broker about any political activity at all."
MURPHY:  Why would you tell her —"
PRICE: "Other than her congratulating me on my election."
MURPHY: "Why wouldn’t you say, hey, listen, stay clear of any company says that are directly affected by my legislative work?"
PRICE: "Because the agreement that we have is that she provide a diversified portfolio, which is exactly what virtually every one of you have in your investment opportunities, and make certain that in order to protect one’s assets that there’s a diversified arrangement for purchase of stocks. I knew nothing about those purchases."
