Taylor Greene Money Moves Questioned After Market Tanks

Marjorie Taylor Greene made major money moves days before Donald Trumpโ€™s tariff bombshell sent the stock market into a tailspin.

Between March 16 and March 24, the Georgia congresswoman executed 15 trades. Her biggest investments? U.S. Treasury Bills.

Known as T-Bills, these government-backed investments are low-risk, low-rewardโ€”but theyโ€™re safe when markets dive.

On three separate datesโ€”March 16, March 19, and March 24โ€”she shelled out between $100,000 and $250,000 per transaction.

Greene Shielded Up to $750K Before Stocks Plunged

According to Capitol Trades, Greene invested between $300,000 and $750,000 in T-Bills just days before Trumpโ€™s โ€œLiberation Dayโ€ announcement.

Thatโ€™s when the former president declared a national economic emergency and slapped hefty tariffs on foreign goods.

Markets responded instantlyโ€”and not in a good way. The Dow plunged more than 2,300 points by Saturday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also dropped sharply.

Small Stock Plays Also Mixed In

While the T-Bill purchases were the headline, Greene also made smaller trades.

She invested between $1,000 and $5,000 in companies like Apple, AbbVie, and Costco.

All of it happened just as Trumpโ€™s trade war began making serious noise again.

Though Greene has denied any wrongdoing, the timing of her investments has sparked questions.

Trump Drops Tariff Bomb, Markets Crash

On March 27, Trump held court in the White House Rose Garden. He declared foreign trade policies a threat to national security.

His new plan slapped a 10% tariff on imports from all nations starting April 6.

Even more aggressively, 90-plus countries now face โ€œreciprocal tariffsโ€ up to 34%โ€”set to go into effect by April 9.

Wall Street went into panic mode. Dow futures crashed, Nasdaq futures tanked, and S&P 500 dropped more than 100 points.

Greene Cheers Trump While Democrats Bleed Cash

Greene stood by Trump during the announcement. She smiled on camera, then praised the policy on a podcast.

โ€œI think President Trump is extremely generous,โ€ she said. โ€œReciprocity is fair.โ€

She added that many countries charge higher tariffs on U.S. goods and said Trumpโ€™s move would โ€œmake America wealthy again.โ€

Meanwhile, other lawmakers werenโ€™t so lucky.

Nancy Pelosi reportedly lost around $7 million in net worth as the markets dropped this week, according to investment tracker Quiver.


Taylor Greene money moves: No Stranger to Controversial Trades

This isnโ€™t Greeneโ€™s first time in the financial spotlight.

Like many members of Congress, sheโ€™s faced scrutiny for well-timed trades before. However, T-Bills are viewed as a way to hedge against risk.

By shifting large amounts of cash into government-backed bonds before the market tumbled, Greene may have avoided major losses.

Thereโ€™s no sign Greene violated any laws. But critics say the optics look suspicious.

โ€œAnytime a lawmaker makes major trades before market-shaking policy news, it deserves attention,โ€ said watchdog analyst Jacob Long from the Government Accountability Project.

Especially when the trades favor safe assetsโ€”right before stocks crash.

Calls for Greater Transparency Mount

Greeneโ€™s trades once again fuel the push to ban congressional stock trading.

Bipartisan bills introduced in recent years have failed to pass. But public pressure is growing.

โ€œItโ€™s not about legality anymoreโ€”itโ€™s about ethics,โ€ said Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat leading the charge on banning personal trades by lawmakers.

Greene Isnโ€™t Backing Down

Despite the noise, Greene remains defiant.

She says her investments were above board and simply smart financial decisions.

And with Trumpโ€™s economic shakeup just beginning, Greene is doubling down on her support.

โ€œAmericaโ€™s getting back to business,โ€ she said. โ€œWeโ€™ve got to protect our economy and our money.โ€

Whether or not voters agree may decide more than just electionsโ€”it could change how money moves in Washington.
