The Senate Ethics Committee announced Tuesday that it has dismissed insider trading complaints against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) after allegations she misused privileged information to adjust her investment portfolio ahead of the pandemic-driven market crash.

Following a preliminary inquiry, the ethics panel “did not find evidence that your actions violated federal law, Senate rules, or standards of contact,” Deborah Sue Mayer, the committee’s chief counsel, wrote to Loeffler in a letter (pdf) dated June 16.
