According to AXIOS, the bill proposed by Republican Senator Josh Hawley to ban stock trading by members of Congress is facing opposition within the Republican party. Sources reveal that due to the opposition from Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, Hawley needs Democratic support to pass the committee vote scheduled for Wednesday.
