The sole House Democrat appointed to oversee the dispersal of hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money allocated for coronavirus-related bailouts broke federal law, according to a report from the Miami Herald.
The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra reports:
Rep. Donna Shalala (D-FL) “told the Miami Herald on Monday she sold a variety of stocks throughout 2019 to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest after she was elected to Congress in November 2018,” the Miami Herald reported. “But the transactions were not publicly reported as required by the STOCK Act, a 2012 law that prohibits members of Congress and their employees from using private information gleaned from their official positions for personal benefit and requires them to report stock sales and purchases within 45 days.”
Shalala, a former Clinton administration official, claimed that her financial adviser was responsible for the problem.
Shalala’s office asserted Shalala and her financial adviser made a mistake.
Shalala spokesperson Carlos Condarco told the Miami Herald: “She had a misunderstanding about the periodic transaction report process and her need to report the sale of these stocks while preparing a blind trust. As a new member with a broker and attorney who were not familiar with the congressional disclosure rules, there was a misunderstanding.”
Shalala’s admission comes as multiple U.S. senators stand accused of insider trading following a closed-door briefing on the novel coronavirus. (RELATED: Sen. Loeffler Liquidates Stock Holdings as Political Firestorm Persists)

Shalala is another Democrat KGB Party crook and won’t admit it like the others.
Arrest her and then investigate her criminal activity further b/c there’s going to be a lot more.
Once a thief, always a thief.
DO IT NOW AND CHECK ON THE OTHERS
I agree with all three of you.
EVERY POLITICIAN (Democrat, Republican, and Independent) MUST be held accountable to the laws of this land. I AM TIRED of seeing politicians skate while citizens go to prison for lesser crimes. Let’s go AG Barr – START PROSECUTING especially those involved in the FISA WARRANT coup attempt!!
I am so sick of these crooks always claiming “it’s not my fault” trying to blame others and thinking an apology is all that is needed to correct their corruption. Where is the application of – ignorance of the law is not a defense – it well past time to hold people accountable for their actions.
@Paul, it only applies to you and I.
Nobody is above the law unless you are a welthy Democrat.
She’s a Dem. I expect nothing else.
Dems can break any laws they want because they know they are protected by Barr and the DOJ.
Another lying Democrat! She knew it and putting on someone else like they always do, and the Accountant taking care of it also knew and is throwing it on a so called new employee! BS, just like your taxes, you signed and you are responsible.
So why is a Democrat running the stimulus and why are the Republicans bowing down to everything the Democrats want on both stimulus’s
It’s ALWAYS a misunderstanding, what else is now?
I’m surprised she doesn’t blame Donald Trump for her troubles, they all do!
When a Democrat makes a several BILLION dollar “mistake” that puts half of that money into their own pocket it is simply a minor mistake made by someone else and an apology is all that is needed.
When a Democrat Mob pays to have a fake document drawn up alleging misconduct that has NO financial value but is alleged against a Republican it is INSTANTLY grounds to undertake multiple investigations and an IMPEACHMENT !!!
But, of course, everyone is equal under the law.
typical liberal peice of shit . trump2020-2024
Harry Truman said it best. Anyone who comes out of government service richer than when they went in has to be a crook.
Probably the best example of this was LBJ. He was dirt poor when he first entered Congress and was a multi million are by time he left the presidency. Of course the Clintons were as bad if not worse. Senator Finestine’s husband got a no bid contract to sell government property worth billions at a nice commission. There are so many crooks in government.
Speaking of Feinstein (DEMOCRAT, FOR THE UNINFORMED) , did you see the letter she wrote to Trump? She asked him to send Iran 5 BILLION U.S. Tax Dollars to help them during the COVID issue.
Take it out of her piggy bank and see how quick and eager she is to send the funds.
Was not that also a comment bo and mitch said when entering the W/H? They were so broke………………And came out after trying to ruining OUR country filthy rich! We do not pay that well! We can only guess and just who and how much they scammed and were giving favors for a little side cash!
“Oh, let the Wickedness of the Wicked come to an end…GOD is a just Judge, and GOD is angry with the wicked everyday.” (Psalm 7) I send these WORDS of GOD to MANIFEST into Donna’ SITUATION. GOD’S Truth Fairness, Honesty, Justice will expose any deceit and will reveal the Truths. Now. I decree in JESUS NAME
Speaking of MONIES, has anyone out there actually met OR known anyone who has received those promised “stimulus checks”?
I’m a disabled veteran AND on social security and haven’t received anything from it! I’ve not met anyone YET!
I know several. The first to get money are those who filed their taxes on-line, from lowest income to highest. Checks will come out later. As a Social Security recipient and a retired veteran who has a decent income and who paid taxes by check, I’m not holding my breath. It’ll get here eventually.
My husband and I just got a physical check in the mail yesterday. The original was sent to a closed bank account on the 15th as promised and returned. Now we have the check in hand
YEP just like he promised on the 15th was deposit to my back account! I’m old and on SS, so it was a BIG help.
They had no knowledge is crock of crap since during their freshman briefings they are told directly what their responsibilities are and given ample resources on what to do and how to do it properly. She is lying through her teeth once again hoping the public just dismisses this with out really reading into it. She and her broker willfully violated the law and she needs to be held accountable…. They cry LOUD and HARD when a Republican does it but whimper when they get caught….
Yup! Throw all the crooks in jail! But, unfortunately, this also applies to President Trump himself. I remember that Trump said that he didn’t know about the pay-off to a bimbo that Trump had an affair with, and it was all his lawyer’s fault (Michael Cohen, Trump’s “fixer”)! Exactly the same excuse as with Shalala! Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!
Pore analogy there is no comparison, her lie was a crime Trumps was a personal matter that had nothing to do with anybody else.
Trumps activity occurred BEFORE he took office. The same goes regarding sexual escapades – ALL HAPPENED BEFORE he was President – unlike the financial cheating by current Congress people.
Agree and the order for all the tapes when he had the TV program are going to be given to??????? Another hoax? Long before he even ran for President. Watch the rats make a big deal out of it! They have nothing else going for them! I;m older than the hag and biden and have more marbles still than they have lost. Hear them know with another head of a country, What was it I came here for? Money? How much did you say you wanted? just a sample and you know what s his name.
How much more of this crap are we going to put up with? There never seems to be ANY consequences for these creeps. We once had a revolution to rid ourselves from a king – now it seems we have thousands of kings. Keep your guns.
Man, I’m with you!
She was also in charge of the University of Miami program. She is a crook and she got caught. These democrats have more crap and frankly tired of there stuff. Trump will win in 2020 and he is going to get rid of all these crooks. God bless America and God bless Trump.
All dems appear to be corrupt liars! Every future democrat running for any office in Congress should be investigated first! Bet you’ll find dirt on everyone of them! Andrew Gillum (Dem candidate for gov in Florida) was a sick puppy!! Thank God he didn’t win!!!
Yep, vetting is a good thing!
You can’t blame Donna …. IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT! He should have called her broker and trained him/her on the rules. Geez, do you expect a lower level politician (like a governor in this COVID crisis) to actually DO SOMETHING????
It’s always someone else’s fault with the DemocRATS! They are corrupt by nature because it’s in their DNA!
All through the obama Socialist Regime no one ever lied. From obama on down when caught in what any normal person woudl consider a lie they quickly came out and stated that they didn’t really lie they only “Mis-Spoke.” the obama Socialsit Regime spent 8 Very Long Years “Mis-Speeking” to the American People. Do you remember , ‘If you like your present health care you can keep it’, or ‘If you like your present doctors yyou can keep them’. Of all the people I know that signed up for obama-care were paying higher premiums and double deductables, so much for affordable health care. How about all of thoes ‘Shovel Ready Jobs’, have you gotten you shovel yet. What about the ‘Redistribution of Wealth’, I don’t know about anyone else but I am still waiting for my check. I don’t understand how anyone can vote for anyone running as a Democrat, especialy Blacks. Black people of America read a History book about your own story. The Slaves in the South were owned by Democrats, as the South was controled by the South and the War between the states was fought because the South did NOT want to give up their Right to Own Slaves. Wake up people.
Tony – more confusing to me is people who vote for Democrats and call themselves “Christians”. HOW can any REAL CHRISTIAN support a political party that advocates for:
– Abortion
– Infanticide
– Same Sex Marriages
– Transvestite policies
– eliminating the mention of GOD in their national events
Regarding this “it’s not my fault”, who hired this Financial Advisor. Perhaps the stork brought him.
Another democrat crook outed.
Can it be; a person not smart enough to know the law regarding stock transaction reporting is smart enough to oversee spending of taxpayer money.
Is it just me? Why is it when a Republican blinks the wrong way, they are investigated, bludgeoned by the press & democratic politicians, called names I wouldn’t use on people I hate (and I’m a retired Sailor), hounded incessantly, indicted, convicted (in Kangaroo courts) with false/withheld evidence. YET, democrats that are accused of doing the same thing and A LOT worse are handle with kid gloves, no indictments (even when actual crimes are committed, with credible evidence) AND under/not reported by the socialist/communist mainstream media. They are the ones, who are Russian/Chinese cohorts. Shame on all those American Traitors. If they want to discuss it with me, I’ve been home all month. Please feel free to stop by, Commrads
Send FBI and CIA to her house before dawn with dogs and guns drawn , break the doors and arrest her and take all her records for investigation. Guilty before proven not guilty .
Another stooge amongst the many.
