Despite DeJoy Saying He Owns No Amazon Stock, Rep. Tlaib Says He Does, Tells Him to Resign

EXCERPT:

TLAIB: “Okay. And I understand that your Amazon 'covered call' expires in about October this year, so you will have to make a decision regarding this financial interest. It may potentially have sensitive information about Amazon’s business with the U.S. Postal Service, which may influence the decision. This appears to be a classic example of conflict of interest and insider trading. Yes or no, will you commit right now to divest any and all financial interests in Amazon to avoid illegal insider trading?”
DeJOY: “Ma'am, that was a lot of time on an issue that doesn’t matter. I don’t own any Amazon stock.”
TLAIB: "You have a financial interest. You can call it whatever you want."
DeJOY: "I don't own anything with Amazon."
TLAIB: "You have a financial interest. Until you do that, your financial interest in Amazon will continue to be problematic and illegal and a conflict of interest.”
