Pelosi Family's Recent Trades Draw Scrutiny

On June 24, Pelosi purchased 20 call options of Broadcom NASDAQ for $5 million. He has also reportedly sold up to $15 million of Visa NYSE and TSLA shares and bought up to $10 million worth of Tesla and Nvidia.
Trades Come Amid Scrutiny of Stock Trading by Members of Congress
The trades come amid ongoing scrutiny of stock trading by members of Congress. Critics have argued that members of Congress have an unfair advantage when it comes to investing, as they have access to non-public information that could help them make profitable trades. In response to these criticisms, Pelosi has said that she does not have any input into her husband's investment decisions.
Pelosi's Trades Generate Strong Returns
Pelosi's trades have generated strong returns in recent years. According to a report by the New York Times, Pelosi's husband has made over $100 million in stock trades since 2009. These returns have led some to speculate that Pelosi may be using her position as Speaker of the House to benefit her husband's investments.
Pelosi Defends Her Husband's Trades
Pelosi has defended her husband's trades, saying that he is a successful businessman who has made his fortune through hard work and investing. She has also said that she does not have any input into his investment decisions and that she is confident that he is not using his position to benefit her husband's investments.
Pelosi Faces Calls for Investigation
Despite Pelosi's defense of her husband's trades, some members of Congress have called for an investigation into whether or not Pelosi has used her position to benefit her husband's investments. The House Ethics Committee is currently reviewing the matter, but it is unclear whether or not they will open a formal investigation.
