ANOTHER Georgia senator faces questions over shares sell-off as it's revealed he dumped 34 stocks worth $825,000 in March after closed-door coronavirus briefings

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Sen. David Purdue, a Georgia Republican, is facing questions over a flurry of stock transactions he made in March

Purdue's rate of trading increased threefold in comparison to past months, amid the coronavirus wreaking havoc on the stock market

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on the transactions Monday, with a spokeswoman saying Purdue is not in charge of his profile

Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Georgia's other senator who's also a Republican, has been called on to resign over dumping stocks after a coronavirus briefing

Loeffler is polling behind Rep. Doug Collins and a Democratic contender in the Georgia special election in November

Collins was previously ahead of Loeffler by 8 points, now he's up by 23 points, polling done for his campaign shows
