Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General to investigate Attorney General Pam Bondi's sale of millions of dollars worth of shares in Trump Media. This request follows reports that Bondi sold these shares just before a significant stock market decline triggered by President Donald Trump's tariff announcement. Raskin is seeking to determine whether Bondi or other DOJ officials engaged in illegal insider trading related to the timing of the sale. Additionally, Senate Democrats have requested an investigation into Bondi's involvement in Trump's acquisition of a $400 million jet from Qatar, alleging that the transaction may constitute an illegal bribe. Raskin has also indicated he will question the DOJ regarding its decision to charge LaMonica McIver.
