The ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee has asked the Justice Department’s inspector general to investigate a well-timed trade by Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to a letter first shared with NOTUS.
Bondi sold between $1.25 million and $5.5 million in shares of President Donald Trump’s media company on April 2, “Liberation Day.” Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs that day on imports that went further than many expected, shocking businesses and tanking markets.
“This conduct bears all the hallmarks of insider trading and demands impartial investigation,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
