From Washington: The Fight to End Insider Trading in Congress

From Washington: The Fight to End Insider Trading in Congress

Author: FOX News Radio April 26, 2026 Duration: 32:00
For years, it has been an open secret that insider trading is common practice among members of Congress. For over a decade, there have been various efforts to stop it. Now, driven by plummeting approval ratings and a systemic loss of faith in the institution, a growing number of lawmakers are taking a stand. Senator Todd Young (R-IN) joins The Rundown to explain why ending this practice is so difficult and how the perception of rampant insider trading has eroded public trust in our democracy. Later, Missouri Congressman and member of the House UAP Caucus, Eric Burlison, weighs in on the mystery surrounding the deaths and disappearances of at least 11 researchers and individuals with ties to top-level nuclear propulsion research.
