Mr. Bresnahan’s go-to defense has been that impropriety is impossible because a financial adviser independently handles all his trades. Last week, Politico called attention to a 2025 radio interview in which he mentions talking with his financial adviser about “what different positions are coming up.” A spokesman for Mr. Bresnahan, Chris Pack, told me the comment had been taken out of context and similarly assured Politico that such discussions involve “30,000-foot investment strategy,” not specific trades.
