Which lawmakers bought GE recently?

No member of Congress has disclosed a GE purchase in the last 90 days. STOCK Act filings lag the trade by up to 45 days, so newer buys may still be pending disclosure.

Is it legal for members of Congress to trade General Electric Company?

Yes. Under the 2012 STOCK Act, members of Congress may buy and sell individual stocks but must publicly disclose each transaction within 45 days. Bargo surfaces those filings so you can see who traded GE and how it performed.
