(Bloomberg) -- The Biden campaign is forbidding staff from trading individual stocks without approval from the campaign’s general counsel, according to an email sent by the Democratic nominee’s top lawyer to staff on Monday afternoon.

Joe Biden’s general counsel, Dana Remus, wrote in an email to staff obtained by Bloomberg News that the campaign is updating its employee handbook to “ensure that staff do not even inadvertently trade on nonpublic information.” The rule will remain in effect until Dec. 14, 2020, the date the Electoral College votes.

A stock trading ban is unusual for presidential campaigns, and Hillary Clinton, the last Democratic nominee, did not have a similar policy in place.

The Biden campaign said the new policy was part of an effort to follow “the highest ethical standards.”
