Trump and the White House are now lobbying against a bill that ban politicians from stock trading.

Multiple credible news sources report that the White House is lobbying Republican senators to oppose a bill proposed by Senator Josh Hawley that aims to ban stock trading by lawmakers and potentially the president and vice president. This legislation, known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, seeks to restrict elected officials from trading stocks to prevent conflicts of interest.

The White House's Office of Legislative Affairs has been reported to actively resist this bill, complicating its progress in Congress. The opposition includes concerns about the bill's scope and impact on executive officials, including former President Trump. These reports are consistent across several reputable outlets such as Axios, Punchbowl News, and investingLive, confirming the lobbying efforts against the stock trading ban for politicians.
