Eagle Forum president Kris Ullman breaks down the fight to ban stock trading by members of Congress. She explains how lawmakers hear testimony, meet with constituents, and learn things about the economy before anyone else, then trade on it, the same material nonpublic information that would land an ordinary American in prison. Ullman lays out what the bill actually does: put holdings in blind trusts and require public disclosure of any sale at least a week in advance. She also calls out both parties for quietly blocking a reform that voters overwhelmingly want.
