Overview
- Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million in Trump Media shares and $250,000 to $500,000 in warrants on April 2, 2025, the day Trump unveiled his 'Liberation Day' tariffs.
- President Trump’s tariff announcement, made after markets closed on April 2, caused Trump Media stock to drop 13% in the following days before partially recovering.
- Bondi’s financial disclosures do not specify whether her stock sales occurred before or after the market closed, leaving the timing unclear.
- Legal experts note insider trading laws are narrowly defined, and it remains uncertain whether Bondi had access to nonpublic tariff details prior to her trades.
- Under her ethics agreement, Bondi was required to divest her Trump Media holdings by early May, but the timing of her sale has drawn scrutiny.
