Insiders

Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr of North Carolina engaged in insider trading based on daily COVID-19 briefings he was receiving at the time, selling $1.56 million in stock three weeks ago.

There’s a recording of him, during the time while the public was being kept in the dark, warning members of the Capitol Hill Club (described by Harpers as “a private ‘home away from home’ for Republican lawmakers”) that COVID-19 “...is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history... It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic.”
