Ep. 379: Ban Congressional Trading, Terms & Conditions Apply ft. Bryan Metzger
Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA) ran for Congress, in part, on a platform of banning stock trading for members of Congress. Since being sworn in in January, he has traded over 500 times. Bryan Metzger joins Jordan to talk about the trades, the multiple pieces of legislation seeking to ban members from trading stocks and also more on Elon Musk’s departure from and subsequent fallout with the Trump White House.
