Ro Khanna Dumped Nvidia Stock Right Before the Scandal — But Sure, He Wants to Ban Congressional Trading

On September 4, Rep. Ro Khanna's wife sold Nvidia shares. On October 7 — one day after $NVDA hit its all-time high — she sold again. Each transaction was disclosed in the $1,000 to $15,000 range. Weeks later, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's foreign intelligence scandal broke public, and the stock cratered roughly 26 percent.

Ro Khanna sits on the Strategic Competition between the United States and Chinese Communist Party Committee.

That committee placement matters. Hot Air's Ed Morrissey flagged the timeline this week after the Twitter account @tradewithcong connected the dots publicly: "Well, well, well Rep. Ro Khanna sold $NVDA right before Nvidia's CEO admitted to having a Chinese spy side piece." The account added that federal agents had reportedly "informed some lawmakers last year that Jensen Huang might be the target of a foreign intelligence operation."

Khanna represents California's 17th Congressional District — Silicon Valley. He co-chairs the Taiwan Caucus. He's a member of the High Tech Caucus. His entire political identity is built around being the tech-friendly congressman who understands the industry better than his colleagues. That proximity cuts both ways when your family's stock portfolio mirrors the intelligence briefings available to your committee assignments.

The trading pattern tells its own story. Yahoo Finance and Capitol Trades reported that the Khannas first sold Nvidia shares in May — right around the stock's May 14 peak. They then reacquired shares between June and September. Then the September 4 and October 7 sales, perfectly timed before the Huang scandal sent the stock into a nosedive. As @tradewithcong put it: "He avoided a ~26% dip."

The June window between the May sales and the reacquisition is worth pausing on. That same month, Khanna was publicly promoting a partnership he'd coordinated between Nvidia and South Carolina State University — an HBCU — for AI education and workforce development. He was the congressional face of Nvidia's goodwill tour while his family was actively cycling in and out of the company's stock.

Here is the part that should follow Khanna for the rest of his career. As Yahoo Finance noted in its own reporting: "Khanna is the U.S. Representative for California's 17th Congressional District and has advocated barring members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office." He's the guy who campaigns on banning the exact behavior his household engaged in. He built a reform brand around the principle that lawmakers shouldn't trade stocks in industries they regulate and oversee.

Then his wife sold Nvidia shares the day after it peaked, weeks before a scandal he may have had advance knowledge of through his committee work on Chinese espionage.

Khanna's defenders will point to the disclosure amounts — $1,000 to $15,000 per transaction isn't exactly Pelosi-tier. But the STOCK Act doesn't have a minimum-dollar-amount exception for suspicious timing. The question was never how much. The question is how did they know when.

Khanna has floated himself as a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate. The congressman who wants to ban stock trading by lawmakers while his own family times the market around classified intelligence.

Two sales. Two peaks. One scandal. Zero coincidences.
