A covered investment under this bill is defined as investment in a security, a commodity, or a future, or any comparable economic interest acquired through synthetic means such as the use of a derivative. Johnson cosponsored the TRUST in Congress Act in the 117th and 118th Congress. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T17:10:36Z |
