Trump’s deputy chief of staff unloaded Trump Media stock the day before tariff announcement

Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Sells Trump Media Stock Just Before Tariff Announcement

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, a close Trump ally, sold a significant amount of Trump Media stock on April 2, just one day before former President Trump announced sweeping global tariffs—later dubbed “Liberation Day” measures. Though exact sale timing is undisclosed, Scavino offloaded shares from the company that owns Truth Social, raising ethics concerns about potential insider advantage ahead of the market-moving trade policy announcement Critics argue the sale—especially so close to the tariff news—underscores a troubling pattern within Trump’s circle, where officials like Pam Bondi and Sean Duffy similarly divested ahead of tariff-driven market declines, prompting calls for investigations into possible insider trading or market manipulation  To date, no formal inquiry has been launched.
