Members of Congress are required to file documents disclosing their personal finances every year. But it's easy for them to push that deadline back — this year, nearly 60% of House members did it. Yet most House members didn't meet that deadline. Under current law, lawmakers are required to disclose their stock trades within 30 days — though violations of that law are frequent and often go unpunished. While several bills have been introduced this year to banning stock trading in Congress, the Republican-controlled House has yet to take action on the issue — despite House Speaker Kevin McCarthy previously expressing support for a ban.
