Tell the SEC: Investigate Trump Admin Insider Trading

Donald Trump’s sudden reversal on global tariffs has sent shockwaves through financial markets — and raised serious questions about insider trading at the highest levels of government.

According to multiple reports, Trump’s public statements and policy shifts were closely timed with suspicious market activity. Now, experts and lawmakers are demanding answers: Did Trump officials, political allies, or even members of Congress profit from advance knowledge of this decision?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must investigate. Regardless of what Trump might say, the SEC is an independent agency that works for the American people — not for the president. Its job is to enforce transparency, accountability, and fairness in financial markets. That includes holding powerful people to the same rules as everyone else.

If Trump administration insiders used privileged information to enrich themselves or their friends, it’s not just unethical — it’s illegal. And if the SEC fails to act, it sends a message that corruption is tolerated at the highest levels of government.

We need a full, public investigation — not a quiet internal review or political cover-up. The American people deserve to know the truth about whether government officials used inside information to game the markets. The integrity of our financial system — and public trust in democracy — depends on swift, serious action. Anything less would be a failure of the SEC’s core mission.

Add your name to demand that the SEC investigate potential insider trading related to Trump’s tariff reversal and hold anyone who broke the law fully accountable.
