Sen. Shelley Capito (R-WV) is a member of the U.S. Congress and has made at least 80 trades in the past three years, with Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC) being her top-traded stock, typically filed under her spouse, Charles (Charlie) Capito.
Capito, who has been in office as a senator since 2015, has faced controversy over her and her husband's trades in the past.
In 2012, when Capito was a member of the House of Representatives and was running for reelection, her Democrat challenger, Howard Swint, accused her of alleged insider trading when she dumped between $100,000 and $250,000 of Citigroup (NYSE:C) on Nov. 18, 2008, with the stock losing 23% of its value the next day, reported Corporate Crime Reporter. This was during the Great Recession.
