A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation on Tuesday to ban members of Congress and their spouses from owning and trading stocks in a bid to restore trust in the U.S. government.
Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) introduced the “Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act,” which aims to prevent elected officials from using their positions for personal financial gain.
