• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made stock purchases worth between $21,000 and $315,000 just before Trump's tariff pause.
• Her actions have led to claims of possible market manipulation and allegations of insider trading.
• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries supports a ban on stock trading for Congress members.
• Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are demanding investigations into Greene's trades.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene disclosed stock purchases totaling between $21,000 and $315,000 just before President Donald Trump announced a pause on tariffs. Greene invested in several high-profile companies, including Apple and Tesla, potentially profiting from the subsequent market surge, according to The New York Times.

The timing of Greene's trades has raised eyebrows, with critics suggesting a possible link to insider trading. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated, “That doesn't sound like a coincidence to me,” urging for a thorough investigation into such transactions, according to The Hill.

Greene's disclosures revealed she not only purchased stocks but also sold between $50,000 and $100,000 in Treasury bills prior to the tariff announcement. This series of trades has prompted bipartisan discussions in Congress, pushing for a ban on stock trading by sitting lawmakers to prevent perceived corruption, according to Business Insider.

Moreover, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Greene in a recent rally, questioning the ethical implications of her stock purchases and demanding transparency from Congress members who engage in trading. Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the need to disclose any trades related to Trump's announcements, echoing sentiments from other Democrats calling for reform, according to The New York Times.
