Lawmakers want investigation into possible market manipulation synced with president's remarks. FMTNews

The lawmakers include Ron Wyden, top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, and 2020 presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which monitors S&P futures contract trading, dismissed the story as “patently false.”
