flag A bipartisan bill to ban congressional stock trading gains support amid evidence senators profit from insider information.

flag A bipartisan bill to ban stock trading by Congress members and their families has gained momentum, with 17 Republicans and 58 Democrats co-sponsoring it, driven by concerns over insider trading and conflicts of interest. flag A new study found that U.S. senators consistently outperformed the market on trades made before key legislative milestones, especially those on influential committees, suggesting possible access to non-public information. flag The research, published in the Journal of Business Ethics, raises ethical concerns and supports a "contingent freedom" model that restricts trading during sensitive legislative periods. flag Advocates say the ban is crucial for restoring public trust in government.
