| Earlier tonight, the American Democracy Legal Fund called for an ethics investigation into Senator Richard Burr following a bombshell report alleging he may have used insider knowledge to make money for himself by selling off stock only a week before the stock market dropped due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, a new report alleges Senator Kelly Loeffler also dumped stock shortly after an “all Senators” briefing on the coronavirus. ADLF President Brad Woodhouse released the following statement calling for an ethics investigation into Senator Loeffler: “It’s stunning that after being briefed on the outbreak of a deadly pandemic, Senator Kelly Loeffler’s instincts told her to protect her bottom line, not her constituents’ health. Her behavior, just like her colleague’s from North Carolina, is highly unethical and possibly illegal. The Senate Ethics Committee must begin an immediate investigation into these allegations of criminal conduct against Senator Loeffler.” |
