US senator calls for insider trading inquiry over Trump donors buying $12m worth of shares

3. It's in the 2nd paragraph

Robert Pender and Michael Sabel, the founders and co-chairs of Venture Global, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company headquartered in Virginia, bought more than a million shares worth almost $12m each, just days after meeting with senior Trump officials in March. The meeting included Chris Wright, the energy secretary, who days later granted the company an export license essential for its expansion plans in Europe, the Guardian reported last week.

Pender and Sabel were apparently 45 "donors" running a LNG company and after meeting with 45's energy secretary, bought over a million shares of their own company's stock, JUST BEFORE DOE approved their export license (suggesting that they "bought low" and the value would now increase after that DOE approval).
