Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina unloaded hundreds of thousands of dollars in stocks shortly after publicly downplaying the enormous risk of the novel coronavirus, ProPublica reported.
In a February 7 op-ed for Fox News, Burr — along with fellow Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander, of Tennessee — acknowledged that"Americans are rightfully concerned about the coronavirus" at a time when the number of cases in China were still skyrocketing. He made a total of 29 separate transactions. Seven of those were for amounts between $1,001 and $15,000; 15 transactions were for amounts between $15,001 and $50,000; and seven were for amounts between $50,001 and $100,000.
