Rep. Tom Emmer (Minn.) ☑️
Rep. Kevin Hern (Okla.)
Rep. Pete Sessions (Tex.)
Rep. Austin Scott (Ga.) ☑️
Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.)
Rep. Jack Bergman (Mich.)

“Republican Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia reported buying and selling up to $45,000 worth of stock in General Electric in late 2020 (while a member of Congress — he’s also on the House Armed Services Committee; GE makes defense equipment). A spokesperson for the six-term lawmaker, Rachel Ledbetter, said Scott and his wife "own stocks like millions of American families do.”
But do they do insider trading? Yes.

“Congressman Austin Scott is catching the eyes of investors today following a report on how well politicians’ stocks did compared to SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) in 2021.”
Corrupt. Surprise me.
