Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Rome) is facing calls for an investigation into her stock trading activity following President Donald Trump’s recent announcement of reciprocal tariffs, which caused significant volatility in the stock market. The Georgia New Network reports, the controversy centers around Greene’s purchase of stocks in companies, including Lululemon Athletica and Apple, during a period of market downturn following Trump’s initial tariff announcement on April 2nd. The market subsequently rebounded after a 90-day pause on the tariffs was announced on April 9th. Some of Greene’s colleagues in congress are demanding an official investigation into potential insider trading allegations by Rep. Greene and others who may have profited from foreknowledge of the policy shifts. The allegations raise questions about whether Greene possessed privileged information regarding the impending tariff changes and whether she used that knowledge to unfairly benefit from the market fluctuations. An investigation is being sought to determine the legality and ethical implications of her stock transactions. Greene represents Chattooga and surrounding Northwest Georgia counties in the U.S. House of Representatives.
