this isnt news. insider trading is completely legal if you work for or are related to a congressperson.
Legal or not enforced?
Legal in that there isn't a specific law against it. Several Reps and Senators at various times have proposed a ban on Congresspeople trading individual stocks (presumably they could still have index funds, mutual funds etc.) but shockingly enough those measures didn't pass.
