President Trump is talking with Sen. Josh Hawley and other senators about the contents of a bill to ban stock trades by elected officials.

After being harshly criticized by President Donald Trump over his bill to ban stock trading among top government leaders, Sen. Josh Hawley said the president “wants to get it done."

But Hawley’s legislation with the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, sailed out of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, after his support delivered a bipartisan vote over the objections of the other Republicans, who have majority control.
