A congressional disclosure form shows the Georgia lawmaker last week bought between $15,001 and $50,000 worth of shares in Digital World Acquisition Corp. The disclosure was first noted by Congresstrading.com, which tracks stock purchases made by members of the House and Senate.

Digital World, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, merged with the former president's company, Trump Media & Technology Group, earlier this month. After going public, Digital World's stock price surged as much as 1,200%. The shares traded at about $70 a on Thursday, valuing the company at $2.6 billion. 

A self-proclaimed Trump supporter, Greene has not said what spurred her investment in Digital World. "This transaction was reported in compliance with House rules and provides all required details about the transaction," her office said in an emailed statement to CBS MoneyWatch

So you borrowed $50K from your election funds because you were told there would be quick profits. Sorry, darling, you weren't fast enough. Better do some creative accountng MTG!
