Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, said she will file a special rule on Friday to trigger a discharge petition aimed at forcing a vote on legislation that would bar members of Congress from trading individual stocks. The rarely used maneuver allows rank-and-file lawmakers to bypass party leadership by collecting signatures from a majority of House members—currently 218—to bring a bill directly to the floor. Luna argued a ban is needed to curb what she called “corrupt and blatant insider trading” by lawmakers in both parties. She added that President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent back the effort, signaling potential support from the White House if a measure reaches the president’s desk. The push comes amid renewed public scrutiny of lawmakers’ personal investments and follows several stalled attempts in recent years to tighten ethics rules on Capitol Hill.
