Republican Sen. Josh Hawley on Thursday dismissed a dustup with President Donald Trump over a stock trading bill to a misunderstanding, saying he’d spoken with the president in the hours after he dressed him down as a “second-tier senator” and the pair had a good conversation.

But Hawley’s legislation with the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, sailed out of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, after his support delivered a bipartisan vote over the objections of the other Republicans, who have majority control.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley engaged in a fiery debate with members of his own party before joining Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Wednesday to advance a bill that would ban members of Congress or their spouses from trading or holding individual stocks.
