Texas Representative Christian Menefee disclosed selling Berkshire Hathaway stock worth up to $115,000 while serving on a congressional committee overseeing technology industries. The sales, including multiple transactions of Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares and Pinterest stock, have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Menefee serves on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, which oversees sectors related to these investments.
