ANOTHER Georgia senator faces questions over shares sell-off as it's revealed he dumped 34 stocks worth $825,000 in March after closed-door coronavirus briefings
2020-04-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Sen. David Purdue, a Georgia Republican, is facing questions over a flurry of stock transactions he made in March

  • Purdue's rate of trading increased threefold in comparison to past months, amid the coronavirus wreaking havoc on the stock market

  • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on the transactions Monday, with a spokeswoman saying Purdue is not in charge of his profile

  • Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Georgia's other senator who's also a Republican, has been called on to resign over dumping stocks after a coronavirus briefing

  • Loeffler is polling behind Rep. Doug Collins and a Democratic contender in the Georgia special election in November

  • Collins was previously ahead of Loeffler by 8 points, now he's up by 23 points, polling done for his campaign shows

#1  I was under the impression that Congresscritters are not subject to laws against insider trading.

But if the honourable senator is not in charge of his trades — if it’s either in a blind trust or a mutual fund — then this is just another attempt to hound a Republican politician out of office.
