Do Lawmakers Have More Insight Into Stocks Than The Public? TikTok Users Think So.

Do Lawmakers Have More Insight Into Stocks Than The Public? TikTok Users Think So.

Seven House lawmakers are facing ethics complaints for violating the Stock Act, which polices insider trading, because of a recent bipartisan trend of lawmakers ignoring disclosure requirements. They say it was an accident.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and investigative correspondent Tim Mak.
