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. Although the trades were reported under the STOCK Act and no wrongdoing is indicated, such transactions continue to attract scrutiny amid calls for stricter rules on lawmakers' stock trading.
