NY AG Letitia James looking at possible insider trading around Trump''s tariff pause

Keep throwing that spaghetti against the wall, Tish — sooner or later something's gotta stick.

[NYPOST] New York Attorney General Letitia James' office is scrutinizing whether insider trading took place in connection with President Trump's 90-day pause on customized ''reciprocal'' tariffs announced last week.

The examination is in its preliminary stages and is not yet a full-fledged probe, James' office confirmed to The Post Tuesday.

It was not immediately clear whether specific individuals and companies were subject to the review, which was first reported by CNN.

Shortly before the US markets opened April 9, with indexes in free fall over tariff uncertainty, Trump declared on Truth Social that it was a ''GREAT TIME TO BUY.''

That afternoon, the president announced the postponement of the customized rates while keeping a 10% baseline duty in effect on most imports.

The stock market rebounded sharply, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 7.9%, the S&P 500 surging 9.5%, and the Nasdaq spiking 12.2%.

#8 Throughout that case, James repeated her mantra that there would be no exceptions for the rich and powerful.

Unless you're a Dem and a member of two other higher 'castes'.

I think this is her strategy to; thing is the insider trader trial balloon didn't fly because that is a can of worms a lot of suddenly rich and legacy politicians do not want to have opened.

#11 Letitia (three syllables, end with vowel - my decoder ring works!) is shining a spotlight on a crime having been committed by a number of Dems in high places.

The ripples caused by her troubles may swamp some interesting boats.
