Several days later, the Dow Jones Industrial Average began an 11,000-point drop, although it has since rebounded somewhat.
Alice Fisher, a white collar defense attorney who is representing Burr, defended his trading activity in a statement to ABC News saying it was"based on public information.""When this issue arose, Senator Burr immediately asked the Senate Ethics Committee to conduct a complete review, and he will cooperate with that review as well as any other appropriate inquiry," Fisher said.
All have denied that their stock activity had any connections to briefings that were provided to lawmakers at the time that had underscored the severity of the coronavirus and its potentially devastating ramifications for the U.S. economy and public health system.
POS
I think you misspoke you said 'DOJ investigating'. You obviously meant to say 'Barr DOJ covering up wrong-doing.'
Just a lucky guess, huh? Right.

Hoping that Barr None, the questionable Attorney General, will investigate that Crook Burr is like asking a fat man to run a four minute mile. Never going to happen.
Old news.....typical for a politician. Rinse and repeat.
Taking bets he walks like a duck.
You might want to add a few names to this list... 👍 Numerous elected officials utilized classified CIA intelligence reports to personally benefit their financial standing and from that actionable intelligence sold personally owed stocks. I still have faith in the bricks.
He delayed warning people how contagious and deadly this virus is until he could sell his shares. This is what happens when they brainwash us to worship money.
DOJ should do their job investigating Burr. But, I truly do believe that the DOJ should have already been looking into Pelosi and Congress. Especially now that these money hungry politicians took stimulus dollars to fund their salaries during this time of national crisis...WTF.
What about Diane Feinstein doing the same thing. Be sure not to include the Democrats
LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP!
Go after them all.
There are others in the Senate and House who did the same thing. Are they going After Burr because he refused to bow down to Trump?
Why did your headline not have Sen. Dianne Feinstein too, bias headlines
Guilty as charged.
I hope Burr and everyone else who knew and sold out gets it good. What did Trump say, “It’s the way of the world”...that the rich are treated first and better! I AM FOLLOWING! I hope the Law and Courts make me happy!
If Barr is involved then it will be a waste of time and money
REMOVE THE GOP !!!!!!!!
Whitewash
Good!!! He and others benefited from information gained through briefings...
What about the other one Georgia’s Kelly Loeffler
How about the other senators with questionable trades. We should also get information on stock trades made by members of the Trump family.
Get captured
He is not worried; a presidential pardon, if needed, is on his way.
Good..
Let's call it what it is:
If guilty, Barr or Donald will step in. No worrried Burr. 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah right. I’m just AG Barr is all over it.
Good.
Wow! Not teflon
Yes
Good!
LOCK THESE CRIMINALS UP.. THERE PROFITING OFF THE DEATH OF AMERICANS
