The investigators are reportedly focusing on trades in the financial services industry Bachus reported on his financial disclosures which coincide with policy announcements that affected those companies.

Earlier this week, it was Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) whose financial disclosures were in the spotlight.
