Demand Immediate Hearings into Possible Insider Trading on Trump's Tariff Announcement

The Issue

Something deeply troubling may have happened, and the American people deserve answers.

Senator Cory Booker has called for congressional hearings into possible insider trading tied to President Trump’s sudden tariff reversal.

Last week, Trump told the public “this is a great time to buy” as stocks fell following his new tariffs — and then, just hours later, he reversed course, triggering a major market rebound.

That kind of timing isn't just suspicious — it raises serious, legitimate concerns about market manipulation and insider trading.

We’re not talking about politics. We’re talking about trust, transparency, and the rule of law.

When elected officials or those with privileged access to policy decisions make financial gains while the public is left in the dark, it erodes faith in our democracy. If there’s even a chance that people profited off of confidential or non-public information, Congress must investigate.

Not next month. Not after the election. Now.

There’s enough smoke here that we need to look for fire.

Senator Booker is right: refusing to hold hearings undermines our democracy. We need a bipartisan inquiry to get to the bottom of this, wherever the facts lead. Because the American people deserve to know whether our markets were manipulated for personal gain by those in or close to power.

Sign this petition to demand immediate congressional hearings into the potential insider trading surrounding Trump’s tariff reversal. This is bigger than any one party. This is about restoring trust in the system.
