Adam Schiff Is Investigating Trump For Insider Trading

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is starting to investigate the Trump White House for stock market manipulation and insider trading.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has done more than his share of investigating Trump. While he was chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff led the first Trump impeachment investigation and prosecution. Sen. Schiff also served on the select committee that investigated the 1/6 attack on the Capitol.

When Adam Schiff sounds the alarm about potential Trump crimes, people should pay attention.


In a video, Schiff said:

 So today Trump removed many of the tariffs he had imposed in this on, again, off again, it must be Wednesday. Tariffs are off again, kind of policy. This has just wreaked havoc on the markets of course, but there is another profound danger as well, and that is insider trading within the White House within the administration.

You may have seen early in the day Trump tweet this Now this is a good time to buy. So the question is between that tweet and Donald Trump's announcement that he was reducing the tariffs on most other nations apart from China, the question is who knew what the President was gonna do and did people around the president trade stock knowing the incredible gyration the market was about to go through?

Because, look, this is a president who is trading in his own meme coin, even as he's president, his kids are trading in their own cryptocurrency. You've got people like Elon Musk who are doing their own conflicted self dealing in the administration. In any administration, this corrupt it is more than necessary to ask, were people personally profiting from insider information while people's savings, their retirement accounts were being torched?

So we're writing to the White House to demand answers. Now, I am fully cognizant of the fact that the White House is probably the last place to be forthcoming about this. Or any other corruption in the administration. We in Congress need to do more than demand answers. We need to do the oversight necessary to get those answers.
