Maybe allow for two options:
Option A: Blind trust with some capital gains incentives?
Option B: Ability to manage your own portfolio, but can't act on SEC+company news until x hours after publicly disclosed?

Selling stocks in which you're conducting an investigation discharges the conflict in pursuing the investigation, but likely accrues a gain consequent to it.
Even, say, requiring a public disclosure of investigation, then* allowing SEC staff to sell stocks, would create a conflict to the extent that the decision to conduct an investigation would have a likely known negative influence on stock holdings.
