Georgia Republican Kelly Loeffler, who dumped millions in stocks following a private Covid-19 briefing, dodged a question about whether senators should trade stocks

Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who's facing a runoff election in January, dodged a question at a debate on Sunday night about whether US senators should be permitted to trade stocks while they hold office.

shortly after she received a private briefing from health officials on the emerging coronavirus in January, prompting a Justice Department investigation, which didn't lead to charges. Loeffler has said outside advisers handle her and her husband's trades. Senators are barred from using non-public information to make decisions about stock trades under the 2012 STOCK Act. The Justice Department investigated Loeffler's trading, but declined to press charges for insider trading. The GOP-controlled Senate Ethics Committee also cleared Loeffler of wrongdoing.

in Cardlytics, a company he previously sat on the board of, just weeks before the firm's founder said he would step down and its stock value plummeted.
