Speculation: Joe Biden’s Insider Trading Ban Linked to His Dispute with Nancy Pelosi
A Democrat National Committee official named Lindy Li has raised speculation regarding President Joe Biden’s recent push for an insider trading ban. Li suggested that Biden’s motivation behind this move may stem from a longstanding feud with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is allegedly known for engaging in insider trading practices.
It is worth noting that Pelosi was among those who urged Biden to withdraw from the presidential race back in July. With Pelosi’s reported net worth standing at $240 million, largely accumulated through investments in tech stocks, there seems to be a history of tension between Biden and Pelosi.
During a segment on Fox News @ Night, Li addressed a report from the Daily Mail claiming that First Lady Jill Biden harbors feelings of vengeance towards individuals who influenced her husband’s decision to forego reelection. The report suggests that Jill Biden is inclined towards “burning the whole thing down” before Joe Biden’s term concludes.
Li responded to this report by asserting, “She’s totally right, and we can see that happen when Joe forcibly came out and cited insider trading.” Li further elaborated on Biden’s actions, attributing them to a lingering grudge against Pelosi, stating, “He’s still very angry that he got summarily pushed aside, and he’s finally saying that no one in Congress should be able to trade on the inside information, and you know who’s notorious for that? Nancy Pelosi.”
It appears that Biden’s recent stance on banning insider trading within Congress may have deeper roots in personal disputes and political dynamics. The implications of this move and its connection to longstanding rivalries within the political arena raise intriguing questions about the intersection of personal vendettas and policy decisions.
