Extra: The Push to End 'Insider Trading' in Congress
For years, there has been a push in Congress to ban lawmakers from investing in the stock market. Earlier this week, a House committee held a hearing on the STOCK Act, which passed in 2012 and tightened rules, requiring lawmakers to disclose their gains.
However, some lawmakers, including Tennessee Republican Congressman Tim Burchett, say that the bill doesn’t do enough. Rep. Burchett recently spoke with FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony about why he feels there are too many "inside traders" in Congress and why he wants tougher laws to stop them. He also explained how legislation he sponsors could help, but why he is skeptical that any tough laws would actually pass.
The Republican also discussed his ongoing effort to get more information about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.
We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
