20. I do not know

if this article is true, but I do know that a tsunami of insider trading during the first Trump occupation of the White House, and has certainly accelerated since his second installation........

During Covid, the SEC was tracking trades one afternoon, and the trades exploded in that afternoon. Many of the top Senators were notified in an early afternoon meeting of some insider knowledge about Covid. THAT afternoon, those U.S. Senators, their uber rich donors, friends were immediately notified. The SEC reported that just One female Senator in one of the Southern states had made at least 20 MILLION in trades that afternoon, and they were checking for even more trades by her. The trades were out of stocks that were gonna get creamed during Covid, and into stocks that were going to do extremely well due to Covid.......(her husband is/was the president of the New York Stock Exchange) Nothing about the insider trading was made public by the SEC after that afternoon.......surprise, surprise, surprise. The FORTUNE that was made that afternoon by Select Senators, their friends, their Uber Rich donors, and other members of Senators Families was probably un-fathomable....
And that was just ONE occurrence.......
Now insider trading is a DAILY roller coaster, and Republicans/Trump control the SEC and have emasculated it, like so many other Agencies........One by one, Regulatory agencies are being obliterated, and it is not by accident. Carefully organized and orchestrated not by Trump, but the shadow 2025 group who are actually running things behind Trump with smoke and mirrors. Trump is merely a useful pawn to divert attention from what massive amount of damage they are doing in the shadows, no different than former pawns: Reagan & WBush........
