NJ-07 Democrat incumbent Tom Malinowski fell flat in Sunday night’s debates hosted by New Jersey Globe, and the embattled two-term Congressman failed to answer for the ongoing ethics probe arising from over a million dollars in unreported stock trades. Many of Malinowski’s trades involved pandemic stocks including “medical and tech companies that had a stake in the virus response.”
“Despite his continued status as the subject of an active ethics investigation, Tom Malinowski feels no regret or remorse for his pandemic stock trading spree because he’s as crooked as they come,” said NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock in the wake of Malinowski’s clash with GOP nominee Tom Kean Jr.
Kean called Malinowski out for dozens of violations during his time in the U.S. House of Representatives; Malinowski’s only response was that he’s since moved his assets into a blind trust – AFTER getting caught, of course.
“I’ve gone above and beyond what the law requires,” said Malinowski. “I’m now one of only ten members of the House and Senate that’s put my entire retirement savings in a fully blind trust, so I don’t know what my investments are.”
“This is not about stocks, this is about ethics,” Kean countered “My opponent violated the law that’s supposed to stop members of Congress from insider trading 145 times.”
