Washington – Republican Sen of Missouri.
In 8-7 votes, Hole and Senate Democrats on the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs Voted The law out of the committee is voting against it with all other Republicans on the committee. It is not yet clear whether the law, which was introduced by Hale, will receive a floor vote in the Republican-controlled Senate.
“I practice what I preach,” Hale said in a strange exchange with fellow Republican on the panel. “I don’t have personal stock, I do not trade in stock. I am not a billionaire unlike others in this committee. And what I think, American people are sending us a clear message.”
Republican Sen Rick Scott, who was not born rich, but now there are hundreds of million dollars according to his public filing, he said that he agrees that MPs should not have stock. But he defended the ability of Congress members to be rich, and said attacks on the rich “disgusting”.
“He referred to Arabs, okay?” Scott said about Hale. “I don’t know when this country has become negative to earn money. But somehow, if you have earned money, you are allegedly – I think Senator Hale suggests – you should not serve, because you can trade stock.”
“Nobody wants to be poor? I am not.” Scott continued. “Okay? So the idea is that we are going to attack people because they make money. Is it wrong. Is it absolutely wrong. We should cherish all our different backgrounds. … So, I think it is disgusting what is happening here.”
Some Republicans of the Senate Homeland Security Committee stressed that Blind Trusts are sufficiently restrictive. But Haley said that the blind trusts are “often workarounds”, and members can still affect the decisions.
This remedy prevents leaders who basically prevent securities and investments. Pelosi actCongress members and their spouses will prevent them from trading or keeping personal shares, they will get 180 days to sell their shares. Members will also have to supply their home or Senate Ethics Committee with written certification of compliance each year, and the Government Accountability Office will conduct an compliance audit every two years. Haley, as a part of the conversation with the Democrats, agreed to call it an honest Act.
Former house speaker Nancy Pelosi supported the law in a statement.
Pelosi said, “When I appreciate the creativity of my Republican colleagues in drafting legislative homos, I welcome any serious effort to raise moral standards in public service,” Pelosi said.
Haley also said that the law would ban the next president and vice -president from keeping or doing personal shares while in office, meaning that the law will not affect President Trump. A reporter asked the President if he supports the Halli Bill.
“Well, I like it ideologically,” said Mr. Trump. “I don’t know about it. But I like it ideologically.”
But later in the afternoon, Sri Trump left the truth on socially with a very different tone, because he took him only hours ago, calling him a “second-tier senator”.
The President wrote, “Due to our tremendous achievements and success, Democrats, have long been trying to ‘go aim’, and they have been using Josh Hole, who were selected twice, as a pawn to help them,” the President wrote. “I wonder why Hale will pass a bill that Nancy is full love with Pelosi – he is playing right in the dirty hands of Democrats. It’s a great bill for him, and her ‘husband’, but too bad for our country!”
Haley said on Thursday that he made a visit with Mr. Trump on Wednesday night after the President’s true social post. According to Haley, Mr. Trump said that the senators told him, false, that the bill would force him to sell all his assets and assets, including his Mara-e-Lago Estate.
“And so I said, ‘Okay, it’s just wrong. It clearly gives you and all your properties exempt,” Haley told reporters on Thursday on Capital Hill. “So we went through him and he was like Oh, it was not what he was told.”
Haley said that the President told him that he wanted to see a ban on stock trading.
“He reiterated me that he wants a stock trade ban, he supports the stock trade ban,” Haley told reporters.
Hale started a similar law in 2023, but it did not exclude it from the committee.
Is more restrictive than proposed measures Stock actFor which MPs and senior government officials including the President and Vice President need to disclose their stock trades and are banned from doing business on learning information during their public service.
After the vote of the committee, Hale wrote on X that the law should come on the floor of the Senate “Now.”
