Bill banning congressional stock trading set to fail in Senate
Original: Bill to limit stock trading in US Congress set to be blocked in Senate
A bill that would restrict stock trading by members of the US Congress is set to be blocked in the Senate, according to Reuters. The measure has drawn public attention because lawmakers buying and selling individual stocks while shaping policy is widely seen as a conflict of interest, and previous attempts to impose tighter rules have stalled.
Why now: Frustration is mounting that despite broad public support, lawmakers keep blocking limits on their own stock trading.
