Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) on Sunday said that all three branches of government should be subject to a stock trading ban “sooner rather than later,” echoing some colleagues on the other side of the aisle.
“One of the things that I think is important for members of Congress is we have to live above reproach. We have to stay above any sort of questions like that. And that’s why, you know, me personally, I just sold all my publicly traded stocks,” Stutzman said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.”
“I’m just staying out of it … it’s not that important to me that I have to have it. I think other members, you know, should, you know, they need to decide for themselves,” he added.
When asked if a potential ban should include the executive branch, Stutzman said, “I think so.”
“I mean, in fact, I think any — take the three branches, take all of them.”
