Why thousands of stock trades tied to Trump are raising eyebrows The BBC's Michelle Fleury reports from Wall Street on recent government filings showing that in the first three months of this year thousands of stock market trades were made on behalf of President Donald Trump.

The trading includes shares in some of America's biggest companies.

They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management, the statement said.
