Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been actively involved in stock trading in 2025, with over a dozen new trades disclosed in May. Among her recent purchases, Greene acquired shares of Morgan Stanley, indicating a potential vote of confidence in the company's prospects. This disclosure comes as part of a broader trend of Greene's stock trading activities, which have garnered attention due to her role in key congressional committees.
