Lawmaker Proposes Ban on Cryptocurrency and Stock Trading for Elected Officials

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna has proposed a bill barring elected officials from trading cryptocurrency and stocks, including former President Trump. Khanna’s proposal comes after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, prompting accusations of potential corruption. He cites the relationship between World Liberty Financial and the Trump family as evidence of possible conflict of interest. Khanna argues that such connections present opportunities for abuse in government dealings.
