From Breitbart: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her husband, Paul, have made hundreds of millions of dollars off Nancy’s insider knowledge, but Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has a plan to stop it, he told Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Thursday’s episode of The Alex Marlow Show.
Hawley reintroduced the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act in April to ban members of Congress and their family members from being able to trade or hold stocks.
The bill’s namesake, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), has made “hundreds of millions” – despite a salary never higher than just over $200,000 – since her election to Congress. Hawley said that cannot be done following the law.
“You don’t do it legally,” Hawley said of Pelosi’s acquisition of wealth. “And here’s the thing, Nancy Pelosi and her husband last year, in 2024, beat every hedge fund in the nation, practically. So, either Nancy Pelosi is a mathematical and financial analyst genius… or maybe, maybe the information that she’s privy to turns out to be pretty darn valuable.”

Prominent X user “C3” announced:
Nancy Pelosi outperformed Warren Buffet over the last 10 years.

Warren Buffett’s stock portfolio grew by 185%.
Pelosi had almost 4 times the gains.
Buffett is known as one of the greatest portfolio managers of all time.
Insane.
Sen. Josh Hawley reacted, “BAN stock trading now by members of Congress. Pass the PELOSI Act.”

Republican congressional candidate Sholdon Daniels of Texas commended Hawley’s bill.
“Respect to @HawleyMO for pushing the PELOSI Act. No member of Congress should be making laws and trading stocks at the same time. That’s not public service—that’s legalized corruption. Ban it. Enforce it. Restore trust. AMERICA1st🇺🇸,” Daniels wrote.
