Not in their own names, at least.

Were members of Senate and Congress even informed of the Maduro raid before it was executed?

The Congressional Gang of Eight said they were not informed (even though they're supposed to be).

Maybe that’s their resentment - that they could have profited from it and didn’t.

Don't become so cynical. Congress has an obligation to be consulted on wars and withhold consent/budget. (Even if they were merrily trading on events).

Perhaps one of the silver linings we eventually get from current happenings is meaningful anti-insider trading legislation, with criminal penalties, timely reporting, nonpartisan enforcement. In principle that legislation could happen as soon as 2/2027. Or perhaps not.
