Hawley: The President and Vice President Are ‘Totally Exempted’ from the Anti-Stock Trading Bill

EXCERPT:

HAWLEY: "A number of people who are opposed to banning stock trading had said to the president that he would be covered by the bill, he'd have to sell Mar-a-Lago and sell assets. Not the case at all. The president and the vice president, all their assets are totally exempted. And here’s the point. This is what we talked about. The point of this bill is to ban members of Congress from trading on the information that only they have. I’ve supported this bill for years, Jesse. I think that — we call it the Pelosi Act, it's named for her because she is the poster child of this kind of behavior. It ought to be illegal and it ought to be prosecutable."
