Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) will step down as chairman as the FBI reportedly investigates his stock sales in the early days of the pandemic.
“Senator Burr contacted me this morning to inform me of his decision to step aside as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee during the pendency of the investigation,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement on May 14. “We agreed that this decision would be in the best interests of the committee and will be effective at the end of the day tomorrow.”
