Washington — President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year — an unprecedented sum for a sitting president.CBS News is presenting the data from the president's most recent financial disclosure in a new interactive dashboard here. It shows that the president's investment accounts made 2,346 purchases and 1,296 sales between Jan. 6 and March 30, 2026. The figures for individual transactions were presented in a range, which is reflected in the wide disparity between the minimum and maximum values of the trades overall.The sheer volume of the trades, and the timing of certain transactions, has prompted ethics experts and Democrats in Congress to criticize the president for maintaining an active portfolio. Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has called for an investigation into "potential insider trading." One investment professional, who reviewed the transactions at CBS News' request, said the trades likely reflect a strategy by Mr. Trump's money managers to reduce his tax bill. Another said he had "never seen a strategy out there that would warrant that amount of trading."The Trump Organization, meanwhile, said neither the president nor his family have any influence over his portfolio, which it said is managed by "independent third-party investment managers."Trump's stock trades, by the numbersCBS News extracted and organized the data from the scanned disclosure form, known as an OGE Form 278-T, to produce the fullest picture yet of the thousands of trades on the president's behalf.
