Warren demands SEC investigate Trump for insider trading, accuses him of unleashing ‘chaos’ with tariffs
Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren defended her calls for the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate President Donald Trump over accusations of market manipulation and insider trading, saying such an investigation is «entirely appropriate.»
«That’s what investigations are for. And it’s entirely appropriate to have an investigation to make sure that Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s family, Donald Trump’s inner circle didn’t get advance information and trade on that information,» Warren told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday during an appearance on «State of the Union.»
Warren, alongside a handful of other Senate Democrats such as Oregon’s Ron Wyden and New York’s Chuck Schumer, wrote a letter to the SEC chief on Friday calling for an investigation into alleged market manipulation following Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement and subsequent 90-day pause to the customized tariffs he leveled on foreign nations.
«We urge the SEC to investigate whether the tariff announcements, which caused the market crash and subsequent partial recovery, enriched administration insiders and friends at the expense of the American public and whether any insiders, including the President’s family, had prior knowledge of the tariff pause that they abused to make stock trades ahead of the President’s announcement,» the Senate Democrats wrote in their letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins on Friday.

The White House slammed calls for investigations into market manipulation last week in comments provided to Fox Digital that accused Democrats of playing «partisan games.»

«It is the responsibility of the President of the United States to reassure the markets and Americans about their economic security in the face of nonstop media fearmongering. Democrats railed against China’s cheating for decades, and now they’re playing partisan games instead of celebrating President Trump’s decisive action yesterday to finally corner China,» White House spokesman Kush Desai said in comment to Fox Digital when asked about Democrats claiming Trump manipulated the market.

When asked on Sunday if Warren had actually seen evidence of alleged insider trading, she responded: «Well, there are people who have looked at what happened to purchases and to calls just before he made that announcement that caused the stock market to skyrocket.»
She continued on Sunday that members of Congress should also be subject to a rule barring them from trading individual stocks.
«This is how the stock market works in order to make sure on a consistent basis that nobody’s trading on inside information. And, by the way, Jake, the same thing should apply to Congress. And that is, we should have a rule that no one in Congress can… trade in any individual stocks, no senator, no representative. I have had that bill for a long time. It’s got a lot of support,» she told Tapper.
DONALD TRUMP’S ALLIES, SUPPORTERS AND DONORS, LED BY ELON MUSK, PUSH TO END TARIFF WAR
Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., wrote a letter on Thursday to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, as well as Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, also calling for an investigation into potential insider trading.

Trump, ahead of pausing the reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday of last week, posted to Truth Social, «BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!» and «THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.» The president had previously said he would not pause tariffs but was open to negotiating with other nations.
Trump paused only the higher, customized tariffs he placed on nations that historically installed trade barriers on U.S. goods, with nations across the world instead facing a lower 10% tariff on goods, as the Trump administration and world leaders hash out negotiations for the reciprocal tariffs.
China, however, was not part of the tariff pause and was instead hit with a higher 125% tariff after retaliating with its own additional tariffs against the U.S.
Warren continued in her remarks that tariffs can «be an important tool in the toolbox when used in targeted ways,» but accused Trump of spreading «chaos» through the implementations of his tariff plans.

«Right now, what we have got is chaos and corruption. Donald Trump has imposed a tariff on everyone everywhere, on all products. That’s the 10% tariff. Of course, it was much higher earlier in the week, and now in this trade war with China that basically tries to shut down all trade,» she said.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the city’s mayoral race on Sunday, halting his re-election campaign just five weeks before Election Day.
Adams announced his decision in a nearly nine-minute video posted on social media, offering no clues about his plans after leaving office.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI LANDS KEY ENDORSEMENT IN NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL RACE
«It’s been an honor to be your mayor,» Adams said in his announcement, as he highlighted what he described as achievements related to crime reduction, housing affordability and economic recovery during his time in office.

«And yet despite all that we have achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,» he said, adding that he was unable to raise the funds for a «serious campaign.»
The move followed weeks of speculation he might clear the way for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a contest where Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has gained momentum.

Adams has also trailed both Mamdani and Cuomo significantly in campaign fundraising and spending.
Mamdani framed Adams’ exit as a pivotal moment, pledging that voters in November will «turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas.»
«Donald Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo’s actions but they will not dictate the results of this election,» Mamdani wrote in a statement.

Meanwhile, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa’s campaign framed him as the strongest challenger to Mamdani.
«Curtis Sliwa is the only candidate who can defeat Mamdani. Our team, our resources, and our funding are unmatched,» campaign spokesperson Daniel Kurzyna wrote in a statement.
Cuomo’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Adams’ exit comes as New York City eyes the potential election of 33-year-old democratic socialist upstart Mamdani.
Mamdani’s ascent has drawn national notice: President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this month he’d «like to see two people drop out» of the NYC mayoral race to improve the chances of beating Mamdani.

The Trump administration has slammed Mamdani’s economic agenda, casting it as a threat to business and growth. The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Mamdani has placed affordability at the center of his campaign to lead America’s largest city, pitching ideas such as free buses, city-owned grocery stores, and rent freezes for tenants in rent-stabilized apartments.

Those proposals have energized progressive voters but rattled Wall Street, where executives warn they could drive investment out of New York and weaken the city’s tax base.
TREASURY’S BESSENT WARNS NYC: NO BAILOUT UNDER MAMDANI – ‘DROP DEAD’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that Mamdani’s proposals risk driving New York City into financial crisis, warning that if the city turns to Washington for a bailout, it won’t receive one.
«You can’t enact policies like this and expect to be bailed out,» Bessent said during an interview with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on «Mornings with Maria.»

«And are you going to give them that bailout?» Bartiromo pressed.
«It will be the same thing that Gerald Ford said. Drop dead,» Bessent said.

Rodrigo Paz, candidato a presidente de Bolivia: “Voy a gobernar para todos, sin crisis económica y con plena vigencia de la justicia”
(Desde Washington, Estados Unidos) Rodrigo Paz es consciente de su responsabilidad institucional: sabe que si vence a su adversario Jorge Quiroga en la segunda vuelta del 19 de octubre, será el líder de un cambio histórico en Bolivia. Atrás quedaría un proyecto geopolítico urdido por Evo Morales y Luis Arce, que actuaron como proxies regionales de China, Irán y Rusia.
Ese proyecto apoyado por Beijing, Teherán y Moscú no sólo tuvo implicancias en América Latina, sino profundas consecuencias en la política doméstica. Bolivia sufre una crisis económica sin antecedentes, en un país que se caracterizaba por sus riquezas energéticas.
“Habrá combustible inmediato para toda Bolivia, y voy a plantear una reforma a los combustibles que sea sostenida y bien focalizada”, explicó Paz a Infobae.
El gobierno de Arce deja en la vera del camino a miles de camioneros, con su obvio impacto en el abastecimiento cotidiano. El candidato del Partido Demócrata Cristiano ganó -por sorpresa- en la primera vuelta rumbo al balotaje, con su discurso electoral vinculado a las necesidades básicas de la sociedad boliviana.
Pero en sus 72 horas en DC, Paz también explicó su agenda internacional, asumiendo que América Latina es clave para los Estados Unidos.
El candidato mantuvo reuniones con funcionarios del Departamento de Estado, la Secretaría del Tesoro y el Congreso. Bolivia es una preocupación para Washington, y Paz dejó en claro que los actuales alineamientos diplomáticos e ideológicos de Arce -y en su momento Morales- serán descartados si vence en los comicios del 19 de octubre.
“Mi relación con Donald Trump será cordial y esperemos que cercana, siempre buscando que cualquier relación sea lo mejor para Bolivia”, sostuvo Paz.
A continuación, el reportaje exclusivo que Paz ofreció a Infobae:
-¿Si gana las elecciones, cuáles serían sus primeras tres medidas de gobierno vinculadas a la política doméstica?
-Combustible disponible inmediato para toda Bolivia, que incluya una reforma de subsidios a los combustibles, sostenible y bien focalizada con compensaciones desde el día uno de mi gobierno.
-¿Y a continuación?
-La reducción del déficit fiscal. De 3 a cuatro puntos porcentuales.
-¿Y la tercera medida urgente?
-Unificación cambiaria a favor de la población: una sola cotización, según las reservas, con coordinación fiscal y monetaria.
–¿Cómo cree que reaccionará la sociedad boliviana con esas medidas económicas?
-Nosotros somos los únicos que garantizamos gobernabilidad y una unidad de todos los bolivianos. Sabemos que nos acompañará el pueblo, no tengo dudas de ello.
-¿Usted propone un plan de ajuste?
–No será un ajuste sólo para hacer un ajuste. Yo voy a implementar un capitalismo para todos, un capitalismo con mucha sensibilidad social y comprensión de las diferencias.
-Si usted triunfa, se encontrará con un escenario político vinculado a casos de corrupción. Habrán sido 20 años de un proyecto hegemónico, adonde se denunciaron negociados y vínculos muy profundos con el narcotráfico. En este contexto, ¿cómo piensa actuar?
–En mi gobierno habrá justicia por igual para todos los ciudadanos. No habrá amnistías ni salvoconductos. Todos deberán hacerse cargo de enfrentar la justicia , y como presidente voy a respetar sus fallos.
-¿Cómo imagina su relación con la oposición, y más que nada con la estructura política controlada Evo Morales y Luis Arce?
-La mayor parte de la oposición nos acompañó al viaje que hicimos a Estados Unidos, por lo que han entendido muy bien que debemos trabajar en conjunto y enfrentar esta crisis.
-¿Y con Arce y Morales cómo hará?
-Con respecto a Evo y Arce, su estructura política está diezmada, solo tendrán 8 diputados de 130. Los que van a tener que pensar cómo se relacionarán, son ellos.
-¿Cómo analiza la situación de América Latina?
-Compleja, atravesando un momento crítico por lo que representa Venezuela y sus socios, y la resolución de este caso puntualmente.
¿Cómo será su relación con Nicolás Maduro?
–No tendremos ningún tipo de relación con Maduro. Sí tendremos relaciones con el pueblo de Venezuela, y en especial cuando finalmente esté instaurado un gobierno legítimo.
-¿Qué opina de la decisión de Donald Trump de combatir los carteles de la droga que operan en Venezuela? Por ejemplo, el Cartel de los Soles.
-Muy bien. El narcotráfico es un flagelo que trasciende fronteras y hay que enfrentarlo.
¿Cómo será su relación con Donald Trump?
-Cordial y esperemos que cercana, siempre buscando que cualquier relación sea lo mejor para Bolivia.
-¿Y con el Cono Sur?
-Vamos a tener relación con todos. Primará la diplomacia, no la ideología. Bolivia se abrirá al mundo. Esa es mi idea, mi concepto de la política exterior.
