A freshman Republican congressman made millions of dollars in personal stock trades as financial markets plunged during the days immediately following President Donald Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” tariff binge, according to a NOTUS review of new congressional records.
Rep. Jefferson Shreve of Indiana, one of Congress’ wealthiest members, made more than 140 individual stock purchases and sales between April 7 and April 17 — some of them in companies that fall within the jurisdiction of one of his committees, the records indicate.
Shreve traded between $3.44 million and $9.45 million worth of stocks in that April period, according to a NOTUS analysis of the documents. (Federal lawmakers are only required to disclose trade values in broad ranges.)
