After initially declining to take a position on the issue, on Dec. 17 President Joe Biden expressed support for a ban on Congressional stock trading.

“I don’t know how you look your constituents in the eye and know because the job they gave you, it gave you an inside track to make more money,” he told Democratic strategist Faiz Shakir in an interview.
