So harvesting is not illegal. It's kind of what accountants recommend. Adriana made the point that she's surprised that there was this level of trading, but members of Congress can trade. I mean, there are some people who follow congressional representatives' trades because they feel like they know something the rest of us don't. But insider trading, which is that concept, trading on private info, is illegal. Did you come across any proof of that in the course of your probe? Well, I just want to note that the president is exempt from a key conflict-of-interest law that rules on what federal officials can do when it comes to pursuing policies that benefit their finances. And the Trump Organization told us that the president has no visibility into these accounts. His family has no visibility into these accounts, that these trades are being made by independent third-party managers, investment managers. But there are some interesting sort of timing things. For example, in the first week of January, the president's accounts traded almost $1 million worth of Nvidia stock-- up to $1 million worth of Nvidia stock. A week later, the federal government pursued policies to loosen export controls that would allow the company to sell its prized AI chips in Asia. There are stock trades around Palantir that are interesting before the president touted that company, even mentioning the stock ticker of the company on his Truth Social account. Eli Lilly-- drug maker Eli Lilly, the accounts purchased a number of stocks at the same time the president was pursuing policies that made it easier to obtain GLP-1s. And just-- I'm sure you were paying attention last night-- the president bought as much as $50,000 worth of stock in the company that owns the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
