Nancy Pelosi’s husband invested in Amazon stocks right before new DoD contract issued
The investment is just one of a number of questionable asset purchases made recently by the speaker’s husband.
Paul Pelosi has repeatedly invested in companies soon before they could benefit from legislation pushed or stopped by his wife, Nancy Pelosi.
“Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), bought Amazon call options just six weeks before the Pentagon announced it was canceling a multi-billion dollar contract with Microsoft and starting a new one that opened a door for Amazon’s participation,” Kristina Wong reported at Breitbart.
“The Biden Pentagon on Tuesday abruptly announced it was canceling its multi-billion JEDI cloud services contract with Microsoft and starting a new one that Amazon could compete for,” Breitbart reported.
His investments have brought up concerns about how lawmakers have profited or could potentially profit from influence and information.
