President Barack Obama released a statement on Thursday about a bill that would ban lawmakers and other federal workers to make money off of nonpublic information they get on the job. 

The STOCK Act passed in the Senate but still faces a vote in the House. Obama called the measure “an important step to rebuild the trust between Washington and the American people.”

“There is much more work to be done, like prohibiting elected officials from owning stocks in industries they impact, and prohibiting people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress from lobbying Congress, an idea that has bipartisan support outside of Washington,” Obama said.
