House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said last year that he wanted to tackle the issue of stock trading in Congress.
In a letter exclusively shared with Insider, several lawmakers are pressing for answers from him.
But since becoming House Speaker, he's declined to raise the issue, other than comments he made on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast in January.
And though some Freedom Caucus members are supportive of banning stock trading in Congress, they're likely to object to a hastily-scheduled vote on the matter.
"Then it would be appropriate to go to Speaker McCarthy and say we've passed both tests."
