First Adam Schiff. Now Letitia James.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating possible insider trading linked to President Trump’s 90-day tariff pause.
As reported by CNN:
New York Attorney General Letitia James is looking into potential insider trading by Trump administration officials and associates around last week’s 90-day tariff pause, James’ office confirmed to CNN on Monday.
The review is in its earliest stages and is not yet a full investigation. It’s unclear if it will ultimately uncover evidence of wrongdoing.
Some lawmakers have raised concerns about the potential for insider trading around Trump’s tariff announcement. However, no smoking gun has been revealed signaling wrongdoing.
Last Wednesday, President Trump took to Truth Social to calm fears amid his tariff blitz and the market drop.
“BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!” Trump wrote last Wednesday morning.
A few minutes later, President Trump said it was a good time to buy since the markets were down.
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT” he wrote.
