US Rep. Jared Moskowitz bought and sold stocks as Trump’s tariffs moved markets

As the stock market plunged in reaction to the draconian tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump — before the president backed down and the market soared — Congressman Jared Moskowitz was buying.

On April 7, the congressman bought 23 stocks, worth between $23,023 and $345,000. He also sold two stocks, worth between $2,002 and $30,000, on that day. It was his most active trading day in April, a month in which he had 35 transactions, according to a periodic transaction report he filed with the Clerk of the House.

Reports show he had more transactions on that one day than during any month of the first quarter.
