Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene�s latest stock splurge may pose a second
conflict of interest after the conservative firebrand invested in
cybersecurity tech despite serving on a House subcommittee dedicated to oversight and accountability within the technology industry.
The Georgia Republican made six purchases of CrowdStrike Holdings,
totaling between $6,006 and $90,000, on June 24, according to her
financial disclosures obtained by Raw Story.
CrowdStrike is helping the Department of Defense manage their
cybersecurity operations, which could inappropriately link Green to the contract.
Purchasing stocks from a cybersecurity company could potentially cause a conflict of interest due to Greene�s position on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability�s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology and Government Innovation.
This is at least the second time this year that Green�s piggy bank has
been tied to technology trades that pose questions of conflicts of
interest. She also reportedly invested up to $15,000 in tech goliath
Microsoft back in May. Green also purchased up to $15,000 of Qualcomm
stock, which is a federal defense contractor, while serving on the
influential Homeland Security Committee and the Subcommittee on Border
Security and Enforcement.
Greene�s latest purchases also include from stock from athleisure company lululemon, cost-cutting warehouse Costco, and the chocolate-milk maker
Nestle, Raw Story reported.
A bipartisan group of senators introduced the �ETHICS Act� last week to
ban members of Congress, their partners, and dependents from trading
individual stocks. Similar efforts to add teeth to restrictions on Congressional stock trading have repeatedly failed.
Raw Story said Greene�s congressional spokesperson, Nick Dyer,
�acknowledged Raw Story�s questions about her financial disclosure but did
not answer them.�
