Trump man and Russians

Three Democratic Party members of Congress have asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross violated federal insider trading laws. The New York Times reported that Ross sold shares in Navigator Holdings three days after the New York Times contacted him about a report on his ties to the Russian-linked company, and five days before the report was published. Navigator’s share plummeted soon after the Times ran the report, netting Ross between $100 000 and $250 000 (between R1.4-million and R3.4-million)
