Brother-in-Law of Sen. Richard Burr Also Dumped Stocks Ahead of Coronavirus Market Crash
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pro Publica reports that on the same day that Republican Senator Richard
Burr sold off much of his stock holdings ahead of a coronavirus-fueled
market crash, Burr's brother-in-law also dumped significant stock
holdings. Gerald Fauth sold as much as $280,000 worth of shares on
February 13 - one week before the stock market began plummeting. As
chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Burr had access to
privileged information about the severity of the emerging pandemic.
