Wall Street Journal: Rob Bresnahan “Traded Stocks Heavily” as Trump Rolled Out Tariffs

New WSJ analysis finds that Rep. Bresnahan was second “most prolific” trader in Congress – despite campaign pledge to ban congressional trading

Corrupt Congressman Rob Bresnahan just can’t stop trading stocks. 

New analysis from the Wall Street Journal today reveals that Bresnahan “traded stocks heavily” and completed the second most trades out of any member in Congress during the week that Trump announced major global tariffs – all despite the fact that he campaigned on a pledge to ban congressional stock trading when in office.

The WSJ analysis shows that Rep. Bresnahan made nearly 200 stock trades in that one week following “Liberation Day” – trading prolifically from his perch as a member of Congress as the economy fluctuated.

Reminder: The New York Times first reported that Bresnahan lied to NEPA voters by becoming a prolific trader in office despite campaigning on a pledge to ban congressional stock trading, and Business Insider reported that Bresnahan lied again when he pledged to put his assets in a blind trust but has thus far failed to do so while he continues to trade freely.
