| Where is Congressman Tom Kean Jr., why is he continuing to trade stocks in office, and why was he able to personally sign his stock trading disclosure while missing votes in Washington?
These are some of the questions primetime TV anchors are asking.
MS NOW Anchor Rachel Maddow: So it’s been strange that people haven’t been able to reach him at all and that really nobody seems to know what’s up at all. But then today things took a stranger turn. To add a little extra mystery to the already a mystery, today the news outlet NOTUS is now reporting that despite total radio silence from the congressman, despite his unexplained and complete absence for weeks now, Congressman Kean has nevertheless actively been trading stocks since he otherwise disappeared from public life.When those trades, those recent trades, since he has been gone from Washington, were disclosed to the federal government, the congressman personally certified the disclosure himself via digital signature.
His office says the congressman has a “blind structure” with his personal investments, but they didn’t answer any other questions about why the congressman appeared to be trading stocks during his mysterious disappearance, nor how he could personally certify that they were his.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“New Jersey voters deserve to know where Congressman Tom Kean Jr. is and why he continues to play the stock market while in office.”
