President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the weekend, accusing her and her husband of profiting from “inside information” and outperforming Wall Street hedge funds.
In a Truth Social post late Saturday, Trump wrote, “Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very ‘interesting’ husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024. In other words, these two very average ‘minds’ beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them. It’s all INSIDE INFORMATION!”
The President also questioned why there has been no investigation into the matter and criticized Pelosi for her role in leading two impeachment efforts against him during her tenure as Speaker.

“Is anybody looking into this??? She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???” Trump wrote.

Pelosi, 85, has repeatedly denied accusations of insider trading.

“Pelosi does not own any stocks and has no knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,” spokesperson Ian Krager told The New York Post last month.
The newspaper contacted her office again for comment on Trump’s latest remarks.
Pelosi, who holds the title of Speaker Emeritus, has faced ongoing scrutiny over the business activities of her husband, Paul Pelosi, a venture capitalist.
Members of Congress are not required to publicly disclose their net worth, making it unclear exactly how much the California Democrat is worth.
An estimate from Quiver Quantitative places Pelosi’s net worth at a minimum of $263.23 million, ranking her as the fourth wealthiest member of Congress.
That figure may be higher, as financial disclosure rules do not require precise reporting of assets.
According to data reported by The New York Post, Paul Pelosi’s stock trades in 2024 outperformed the S&P 500’s 25% annual gain, generating an estimated 54% return, citing Bloomberg data.

In January, Paul Pelosi purchased shares in the artificial intelligence health company Tempus AI for around $31.83 each.
The company later secured a $200 million deal with AstraZeneca, sending its stock price to about $60.87 per share, nearly doubling the value since his purchase.
Other high-profile trades have included transactions involving NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, and energy firm Vistra. In one notable move last year, Paul Pelosi sold roughly $2.2 million worth of Microsoft shares—his largest sale in about three years—just months before the Federal Trade Commission launched an antitrust investigation into the tech company.
Pelosi has previously opposed proposals to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks, stating in 2021, “we’re a free-market economy.”
She has since expressed support for certain versions of such a ban.
Last month, the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act—known as the PELOSI Act—advanced through a Senate committee.
Sponsored by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the bill would bar lawmakers from owning or trading individual stocks.
Trump initially criticized Hawley as a “second-tier” senator after believing the legislation would apply to him, requiring divestment of certain assets.
However, Hawley later clarified that the measure would not apply to presidents until 2029, after Trump’s current term ends.
Following the clarification, Trump signaled support for the bill.
The legislation could be considered when the Senate returns from recess next month.
