GOP Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina unloaded hundreds of thousands of dollars in stocks after publicly downplaying the enormous risk of the novel coronavirus, ProPublica reported.
According to the investigation, Burr dumped between $582,029 and $1.56 million in holdings on February 13, shortly after reassuring the public that the US was well prepared to respond to the disease.
The US "is better prepared than ever before to face emerging public health threats, like the coronavirus, in large part due to the work of the Senate Health Committee, Congress, and the Trump Administration," Burr wrote on February 7.
NPR also recently reported it obtained a recording that features Burr raising dire concerns about the coronavirus to members of a private Washington club.
