Speaker Moses hems and haws about a stock trading ban for US lawmakers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday he is supportive of ongoing efforts on Capitol Hill to ban lawmakers from trading stocks, even as he expressed sympathy for opponents of the idea and didn't say whether he will bring up the effort for a House vote.

"You want me to tell you my honest opinion on that?" he said to reporters Wednesday. "I'm in favor of it because I don't think we should have any appearance of impropriety here."

But Johnson quickly offered caveats in a nuanced answer, noting, "I understand people that have misgivings about that," while not saying whether a vote would be in the offing.

"We'll see where it lands," he concluded.
