WASHINGTON — Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., doubled down Tuesday on his support for banning presidents — along with other federal officials — from trading individual stocks.

“I’d be in favor of a uniform rule for everybody,” Hawley told NBC News when asked about a recent filing that showed President Donald Trump made thousands of stock trades in recent months.

“By everybody, I mean everybody, Supreme Court justices, you pick it, that says you can’t trade in stock,” he added. “I mean, I’m in support of that. So, I’d start with Congress, but … I’d be happy to extend it all across the board.”

The senator’s comments came after NBC News and other news outlets reported Trump or his investment managers made more than 3,700 stock trades in the first quarter of this year, according to a financial disclosure filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. Those trades were of stock the president personally owns and involved major corporations with dealings before his administration.
