Senators approved an amendment demanding a review of all stock trades made by the Pelosi family over the past 25 years. The move comes amid mounting concerns about lawmakers profiting from insider knowledge. Senator Elizabeth Warren emphasized the stakes during the debate. “We cannot allow members of Congress to use their positions to profit off inside information while ordinary Americans are left in the dark. For too long, the system has favored the well-connected and wealthy, and that undermines faith in our democracy. This review is a critical first step to holding elected officials accountable and ensuring transparency in our financial markets.” The amendment stops short of immediate investigations but signals growing pressure for accountability.

Questions remain about how deeply the review will probe or what penalties might follow. The Pelosi family has faced intense scrutiny, but enforcement depends on political will and regulatory follow-through. The public’s demand for ethics reform is rising, yet lawmakers often protect each other. The amendment’s passage is a political message as much as a procedural step.
