Pelosi reveals the sale of shares of Nvidia and Apple, the purchase of Alphabet and Amazon

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reported several Inauguration Day stock exchanges in December and early January involving the world’s largest technology companies, an industry her husband Paul previously traded in.

Congressional stock trading disclosures, known as periodic transaction reports, cover trades made by a member of Congress and his or her spouse.

Ian Krager, a spokesman for the former speaker, told FOX Business, “Speaker Pelosi owns no stock, and has no prior knowledge or involvement in any transaction.”

Pelosi’s disclosure indicated the purchase of 50 phone options for Alphabet, Google’s parent company, and 50 phone options for Amazon, according to her latest transaction report filed with the clerk of the House of Representatives.

Both sets of call options have a strike price of $150 and are valued between $250,001 and $500,000. Call options give investors the right to buy shares of a company at a certain price.

Members of Congress on both sides of the political spectrum have proposed legislation in recent years that would bar lawmakers and their family members from owning stocks. Bipartisan bills to that effect were advanced in the Senate during the last Congress, but also did not become law before the end of the 118th Congress, leaving the issue to the current Congress.
