In April 2025, The New York Times reported that Bresnahan, who had campaigned on prohibiting stock trading by members of Congress, reported 264 stock trades, purchasing up to $1.7 million in stock since taking office in January 2025. Dozens of these trades were made during the 2025 stock market crash, which followed the Trump administration issuing the Liberation Day tariffs.
