Republican senator Richard Burr's brother-in-law dumped shares on the SAME DAY as the politician - who had just received a secret coronavirus briefing
2020-05-07
I seem to recall one of our Rantburg investors saying he had also dumped a bunch of shares in that period, not because of insider information, but just because it was the sensible thing to do.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Gerald Fauth, whose sister Brooke is married to North Carolina Republican senator Richard Burr, revealed to have sold up to $280,000 in shares on Feb. 13

  • That was same day as Burr dumped up to $1.72 million of his shares - after he received a secret briefing on the coronavirus

  • Fauth has a post on the National Mediation Board - thanks to Donald Trump -has to declare his stock dealings

  • Burr is already facing a Justice Department inquiry into the dealings, as is Georgia Republican senator Kelly Loeffler

  • This story was originally published by ProPublica
