Marjorie Taylor Greene Faces Investigation Calls Over Profitable Tariff-Linked Stock Trades

The congresswoman's purchases of plummeting stocks during a tariff-induced market crash have rebounded, raising concerns of potential insider trading and conflict of interest.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene purchased stocks in companies like Dell, Amazon, and Restoration Hardware during a steep market decline triggered by President Trump's tariff announcements on April 2, 2025.
Some of Greene's stock investments have rebounded significantly after Trump's decision on April 9 to pause most tariffs, with Restoration Hardware rising over 30% and Dell gaining 9%.
Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Gregorio Casar, are calling for an investigation into whether Greene's trades were influenced by insider information or coordinated with Trump's tariff policy changes.
Greene denies any wrongdoing, stating her financial advisor manages her investments under a fiduciary agreement and that all trades are transparently disclosed in compliance with congressional rules.
The controversy has reignited bipartisan calls for legislative reforms to ban stock trading by members of Congress to address potential conflicts of interest.
