Attorney General Pam Bondi sold at least $1 million worth of shares in the company that owns Truth Social on the same day that Trump announced his sweeping tariff measures, a government ethics transaction report shows.

Bondi's stake in the company, Trump Media, was worth somewhere between $1 million and $5.5 million at the time of the sale, which occurred on April 2, the day Mr. Trump dubbed "Liberation Day" in which he announced his wide-ranging tariffs on goods imported from all foreign countries, according to the document obtained Wednesday by CBS News.

Meh, what's some paltry insider trading at the end of the day? I mean, she effectively stole $1m from everyone else who holds Trump Media - I'm sure they don't care. /s

In a December financial disclosure, Bondi said that she held stock in Trump Media that was worth over $3.9 million at the time, shares that she received as compensation for consulting services for the company.

Wtf why does the Attorney General have shares in a media company owned by the President? This administration is bonkers corrupt.
