Despite Trump’s severe initial response, Hawley Optimistic on the ban on the trading of stock offered

Despite the severe criticism of President Donald Trump concerning his bill to prohibit the exchange of action between the main representatives of the government, Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Insignment that he has a good relationship with the president, who shares his objective of promulgating such a ban.

“The president and I had a very good conversation,” Hawley told Fox News Digital on Thursday, adding “he wants to do it”.

“What the White House wanted is that the president, the vice-president is not covered. They are not, the offices are, but they will be the next office holders,” he said.

The Missouri republican added that “in all honesty, we did the same for Joe Biden. We succeeded last year, and we set the date so that it was the next president who had to comply.”

“So, Trump and Vance are not covered, but not all the members of the Congress are. And it is not a perfect bill, but it’s quite difficult,” said Hawley.

Hawley’s measure, originally appointed the Pelosi law, but has gone to the honest act after the Democrats of the Senate agreed to support him, thwarted Trump and many Republicans of the Senate. The bill was advanced outside the committee by a vote of 8-7, Hawley joining the Democrats to approve the bill.

Shortly after the vote, Trump broke into Hawley in a social post of truth in which he called him a “pawn” and “second level” senator.

“The Democrats, because of our huge achievements and our successes, have tried to target me for a long time, and they use Josh Hawley, which I was elected twice, as a pawn to help them,” he wrote. “I wonder why Hawley would adopt a bill with which Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love – he plays directly in the dirty hands of Democrats. It is a big bill for her, and her` `Mari ”, but so bad for our country! I do not think that the real Republicans want to see their second -rank president named Josh Greeny!”

Despite the hindsight, Hawley told Fox News Digital: “I want to do it.”

“I want to be banished. So I will work with anyone, I said to my colleagues, as if you have changes in good faith you want to do, you think it will make it stronger, I am absolutely for that. I will do it,” he continued. “What I will not do, however, these are consensus things that will kill the bill.”

He castigated an amendment proposed by Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla., And promoted by Trump, who, according to him, “would have emptied the bill”.

“Scott clearly said he was opposed to this bill, and he was trying to kill the bill,” said Hawley.

“I have seen it for six years now. The members are campaigning to prohibit the actions, then they arrive here, and they are, well, it is not the right time, or maybe do it later, or never do it, or you have heard today, have another audience. We have had audiences for years,”

For his part, Scott told Fox News Digital that “Trump was on the right side”.

“It was a bill that Senator Hawley had teamed up with the Democrats to attack Trump,” he said. “Here is a guy who went through Russiagate, crossed an indictment, suffered a conviction, crossed all of this, then it is only a new bill to target the president.”

Senator Ron Johnson, R-WISC., Meanwhile, told Fox News Digital that he thought he was “hypocritical” of representative Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., To support the bill after years of her husband engaging in lucrative trade.

“I thought it was interesting that all the Democrats, with Senator Hawley, voted against the excellent amendment by Rick Scott, who would have asked Gao to investigate how she became so rich,” he said. “If they really wanted to go to the bottom of this, they would have supported this amendment. The fact that they voted against this speaks volumes.”

“The idea is good, the execution is not so good,” said senator James Lankford, R-Okla.

“I wanted to be able to see a bill which is really corrected and which actually works. This bill prohibits things like cryptocurrency, digital currency, he says that you cannot use Stablecoin,” he explained. “It’s a simple idea. But we must be able to clean the language of this particular version to make sure it is right.”

Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., Also challenged the bill specifically to exempt Trump. He told Fox News Digital: “If it was a good bill, they would apply it to Donald Trump. The fact that they excluded Donald Trump, and he will be exempt, it probably means that it is not a very good bill.”

He said that if it were adopted, the bill “dissuades” leaders with a solid business sense.

“I think you want to bring people like that. You are going to dissuade many people like coming, not only forbidding them to have actions, but to say that they have to sell all their businesses. I think it’s exaggerated and not well thought out,” said Paul.

On the other side of the alley, senator John Fetterman, D-P., Expressed his support for the bill, saying: “Treat everyone too and do not negotiate the actions if you are a member here.”

In conclusion, Hawley said he had accepted the changes to exclude Trump and Vance, to obtain a bill that could be promulgated.

“I want something that will pass and it can sign, and I think we have taken a step forward today,” he said.
