Reid filed a cloture petition on the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act on Tuesday, setting up a Thursday vote to move forward on the bill. The legislation would bar lawmakers and their aides from trading stocks, bonds and other financial investments using non-public information gained through their congressional positions. |
