Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Net Worth Jumped $21 Million Since Joining Congress — Top 6 Stocks She Was Buying Amid Tariff Chaos

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is taking flak for buying several stocks just before President Donald Trump's April 9 announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for non-retaliating countries, which sparked a market rally.

According to required public disclosures, Greene bought stocks worth roughly $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and April 9. She also sold between $50,000 and $100,0000 in Treasury bills at the time.
