Nancy Pelosi Supports Ban on Congressional Insider Trading — ‘Hell Is Freezing Over’

We’re feeling the heat of summer in Washington, DC, but hell is freezing over anyway. 

Why? Because veteran stock market wizard Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), has come out in support of a bill that will ban members of Congress from trading in stocks or options. 

For late arrivals, former House Speaker Pelosi has for more than a decade been the poster child for members of Congress who became rich by trading on inside information to predict the movement of the stock market. Pelosi has long tried to deflect criticism by saying that her husband makes all the stock moves, but the numbers don’t lie: While the S&P index is up by 240 percent over the last 10 years, Pelosi and her husband are up an eye-popping 745 percent.  

Peter Schweizer, who wrote about congressional stock speculating in the 2011 book Throw Them All Out, notes on the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast that when she first came to Congress, Nancy Pelosi was worth “a couple million.” Today, “she and her husband are worth about $260 million.” 

Schweizer and the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) documented her fortunate efforts in the stock market, which is detailed in a clip in today’s show. She managed to stop a bill from coming to the House floor that would have harmed Visa, Inc. She subsequently was part of that company’s initial public offering and, in two days, watched her shares go from $44 to $64 a share.

Former Cap Police Chief publicly confirms Pelosi helped stage J6…

Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day.

But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol Police Chief Sund, which confirmed what most of us already knew – that Pelosi’s actions and decisions shaped what happened on January 6.

Here’s what she said in her X post.

Nancy Pelosi:

Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake. Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.

Of course, Pelosi is talking about President Trump’s big, beautiful plan to take back our nation’s capital from the inept liberal leaders who’ve let criminals run the show. Trump has deployed FBI agents and the National Guard to clean up the streets. This move comes as crime in DC is soaring. It’s so bad that police have been handing out AirTags to residents so they can track their cars when they inevitably get stolen.

Pelosi Is Just the Tip of the Democrats’ Insider Trading Iceberg

When the topic of insider trading in Congress comes up, Democrats are quick to accuse Republicans of corruption. Yet when the violations involve one of their own, the outrage disappears. 

The STOCK Act, passed in 2012, was intended to prohibit lawmakers from trading stocks using inside information gained through their official duties. It requires members of Congress, their spouses, and senior staff to report certain financial transactions over $1,000 within 45 days. 

In theory, that makes it harder for lawmakers to conceal suspicious trades. In practice, the penalty for violating the law is $200—an amount so trivial it might as well be nothing.

In 2023, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA11) nearly tripled the S&P 500’s returns. That performance alone drew public criticism. But Pelosi is not unique. Many in Congress are guilty of similar behavior—and the most revealing cases are the ones where the democrats stays silent.

One of the clearest examples came when Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York repeatedly failed to file his transaction reports on time. Across nearly 300 personal financial transactions worth at least $3.2 millionSuozzi ignored the STOCK Act’s deadlines. When asked whether he paid fines for the violations, Suozzi either refused to comment or simply didn’t respond.

The independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) investigated and unanimously concluded there was “substantial reason to believe” Suozzi violated the STOCK Act. But when the case reached the House Committee on Ethics, the outcome was predictable. 

The committee ruled there was not “clear evidence” that he had committed “knowing or willful” violations, effectively dismissing the charges.

Nancy Pelosi Sputters, Appears Confused In Bizarre Rant About ‘Trans Kids’

All it took to totally baffle Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was a simple question about the recent push by California health providers to limit gender-affirming care for minors.

Asked whether she agrees with Kaiser’s decision to restrict the use of chemical and surgical procedures for minors in California, the former U.S. House speaker spoke in non-sequiturs that ended with her bragging about hoisting a trans flag above the door of her congressional office.

“Well, that is something I’m– I’m working for at the national level,” Pelosi said, sidestepping the thorny debate roiling California’s Democratic legislature about how to respond to the state’s largest healthcare provider.

“And we have, um – how can I say it – are hoping that we can… have gender-affirming care, uh, for our… our trans kids,” she stuttered.

“I’m not totally, um — I don’t know what, um,” she tried to explain. “I don’t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in the Congress.”

But fear not, Pelosi seemed to say next: She keeps a trans flag flying outside her office.

“Outside our door, we have a trans flag. Outside of our door in the, um, Capitol, um, in the- in… the office, as do some of our colleagues.”

Trump Torches ‘Disgusting Degenerate’ Nancy Pelosi and Her Shady Husband for Insider Trading

President Donald Trump unleashed a scorching takedown of “disgusting degenerate” Nancy Pelosi and her “interesting” husband Paul on Truth Social on Saturday evening.

In a post that’s already going viral, Trump pointed to the Pelosis outperforming every hedge fund genius on Wall Street in 2024.

“Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very ‘interesting’ husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024,” Trump’s post began. “In other words, these two very average ‘minds’ beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them.”

Trump did not hold back, accusing the former House Speaker of abusing “inside information.”

“It’s all INSIDE iNFORMATION!” Trump wrote. “Is anybody looking into this??? She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???”

Paul Pelosi, a venture capitalist, achieved notable returns in his investment portfolio in 2024, reportedly exceeding 54%, which outperformed many professional hedge funds. This, of course, has raised questions and concerns about whether access to non-public information from his wife’s position in Congress played a role.

Recent trades include selling $24 million in Apple shares and $5 million in Nvidia in January 2025, followed by purchasing shares in Tempus AI, which rose nearly 50% shortly after. Another example is the sale of over $500,000 in Visa shares weeks before a Department of Justice antitrust lawsuit against the company was announced.

Nancy Pelosi’s net worth is estimated at over $240 million, with investments in companies like Alphabet, Amazon, and Palo Alto Networks.

Last month, the former Speaker exploded on CNN’s Jake Tapper when he pressed her about the insider trading allegations.

“Ridiculous!” she snapped, accusing Trump of “projecting” while conveniently ignoring her family’s suspiciously perfect timing. She went on to demand that she was there to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.

Nancy Pelosi’s Recent Comments on ‘Trans Kids’ Show This is a Hill Democrats Are Willing to Die on 

Nancy Pelosi was recently speaking to a reporter who asked her a question about trans issues and she doubled down in support, mentioning that she supports ‘gender affirming care’ for ‘trans kids.’

Of course, gender affirming care is not caring, nor does it affirm gender, but who’s keeping track of the lies at this point?

The amazing thing about this is that the 2024 election showed that a majority of the country rejects all of this. Studies after the election found that one of Trump’s most effective ads was one that focused on Kamala Harris’ support for this issue and Trump’s rejection of it.

Parents across the country are sick of the very idea of men in the same locker rooms as their daughters and wives, yet here is Pelosi making it clear that Democrats are still not letting go of this.

From PJ Media:

On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi gave a troubling interview outside a VA hospital in San Francisco, where she appeared visibly disoriented and struggled to string together coherent thoughts while defending the practice of “transing” children.

When asked about her office’s response to interruptions in so-called “gender-affirming care” in California, Pelosi immediately stumbled. “Well, that is something that I’m working for at—at—at the national level,” she stammered. She then tried, and failed, to articulate her hope for continued access to these controversial procedures for gender-confused kids: “Are hoping that we can have gender-affirming care, uh, for—for our trans kids, and that’s… It—it’s, it’s a sad thing for us.” She never finished the thought.

Christine’s mother Nancy is most famous for her amazing success at insider trading. Nancy outperformed every major hedge fund in 2024 and grew 70% in one year!

So with all of that money Nancy has made through her insider trading, can’t she afford to buy her daughter some braces?

What did Nancy Pelosi know and when did she know it?

This May 16, 2016, quote from Nancy Pelosi has haunted me:

“Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Take it to the bank, I guarantee it.”

All these years, I’ve wondered, how could she be so certain?  This wasn’t just the usual campaign hyperbole. Her phrasing was a simple noun-verb construction, nakedly declarative, and absolutely certain. She left herself absolutely no wiggle room for later, just in case. Seasoned politicians don’t do that sort of thing typically, and Nancy Pelosi is most definitely seasoned. So why??  Why do it?

We may have gotten our answer.

The long-classified annex from the Durham report was declassified this Thursday. What it tells us is that the clock, as it were, on when the organizational malfeasance — the coup — against Donald Trump began may have to be ratcheted back months.

Down at the bottom of the now-declassified page in this X post is a paragraph from hacked emails the Russians had exfiltrated in March of 2016:

…The Clinton staff, with support from special services is preparing scandalous revelations of business relations between Trump and ‘The Russian Mafia.’  Currently, they are studying his connections…

Ironically, these are the first actual Russian-hacked emails we have proof of after all these years! As you may recall, the DNC “hack” has never been proven, as the FBI has never examined the hard drives.

The internet is now speculating what “special services” means, but I know what I read it to mean, in the context (you’ll see it in a moment) of the entire document:  the FBI. 

Now, where did this information come from? Whose hacked email are we talking about?

Pelosi Panics on CNN When Pressed About Insider Trading

Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks.

Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going.

Tapper attempted to defuse the tension, saying he just wanted to give her a chance to respond to Trump’s claims. But Pelosi was having none of it. “We’re here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That’s what I agreed to come to talk about,” she protested.

The tension only escalated as Tapper continued, “He accused you of insider trading. What’s your response to that?”

Pelosi has long faced accusations of insider trading due to her husband Paul Pelosi’s lucrative stock trades, often timed around key congressional actions. Critics allege the Pelosis have profited from privileged information, pointing to trades involving companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Visa that coincided with legislation affecting those industries. Watchdog groups and bipartisan lawmakers have pushed for stricter regulations or outright bans on congressional stock trading.

Senate committee passes PELOSI Act to ban stock trading, but now how you’d think…

The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has just passed the PELOSI Act to ban stock trading among those in Congress, as well as the President and Vice President. It passed 8-7, with all Republicans voting AGAINST the bill except Hawley, who was joined by all Democrats on the committee.

Yes, it’s complicated.

According to taxpayer funded Politico, the Democrats joined the bill when Hawley agreed to get rid of the PELOSI Act name and expand those prohibited from stock trading to the President and Vice President. Except it will only apply to future administrations, meaning it doesn’t apply to President Trump and VP Vance.

Some Republicans didn’t like the changes, like the original co-sponsor of the bill, Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, who voted against it on those grounds. Others simply feel that the bill is flawed.

Here’s more:

A Senate committee voted to advance a bill that would ban stock trading by lawmakers, presidents and vice presidents — over objections from most Republicans and with a carve-out for President Donald Trump.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the original bill barring members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks. It was named, to Democrats’ dismay, for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has come under scrutiny for her husband’s extensive trading without evidence that any of it was done using insider information from Capitol Hill.

In conjunction with Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Hawley offered an alternative to the panel that would ditch the contentious name and expand the prohibitions to the president and vice president — but only for future administrations.

“We have an opportunity here today to do something that the public has wanted us to do for decades, and that is to ban members of Congress from profiting on information that, frankly, only members of Congress have,” Hawley said.

The committee voted 8-7 with all Republicans on the panel save Hawley voting against proceeding with the bill. The GOP detractors argued it would unfairly punish the wealthy and disincentivize some from serving in Congress. Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, one of the Republican nays, is chair of the Senate Ethics Committee and noted he would be responsible for enforcing the bill should it become law.
