Jackson, Ryan[jackson.ryan@epa.gov] POLITICO Mon 9/25/2017 4:03:18 PM INVESTIGATION: POLITICO probes congressional aides' potential conflicts with stock trades
Senior congressional aides are often more involved in writing legislation than the members themselves. But some regularly trade stocks that present potential conflicts of interest with their work. Some even invest in companies that lobby their committees. Among the regular traders are aides to leaders of both parties, senior staffers on the House and Senate appropriations committees, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Obamacare. In the executive branch, they could be fired. But a POLITICO investigation found that Congress is far more lax in policing conflicts of interest.
