The chair of the committee shares key takeaways of the hearing.

Stock Trading Ban Gains Momentum. Democratic leaders are showing support for a bill banning members of Congress from trading stocks. The bill, promoted by Senators Jon Ossoff and Mark Kelly, seeks to prevent members of Congress and their families from using privileged information to sell or buy shares in the stock market, earning large sums of money while holding public office.
