Elizabeth Warren and other senators call for an SEC investigation into Trump’s ‘great time to buy’ post

Democrats in Washington want the agency to look into whether the president manipulated markets to enrich his associates.

Senators including Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Chuck Schumer of New York signed a letter on Friday asking the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate President Trump. The move comes after the president’s April 9 Truth Social post in which he told followers it was a “GREAT TIME TO BUY”—just hours before announcing a 90-day pause on the sweeping international tariffs that he’d enacted just days earlier.
