A shareholder filed a lawsuit against Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) over stock sales that were made after Burr received closed-door briefings on the threat of the new CCP virus in early February.
Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, sold between $628,000 and $1.7 million of his stocks on Feb. 13, according to Senate financial disclosures. A week later, the stock market began to decline as the new virus spread.
