Members of Congress have bought stock in companies while laws that could affect those companies were being debated in the House or Senate, the CBS news program “60 Minutes” said on its website.
The program’s correspondent, Steve Kroft, at news conferences on Nov. 3 asked Representative Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, and Representative John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, about stock purchases, according to a report today in the San Francisco Chronicle, which is published in Pelosi’s district.
