Kelly Loeffler, Republican senator from Georgia and part owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, reportedly sold between $1.2 million and $3.1 million worth of stock over three week beginning on the day of a closed-door briefing on COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Loeffler reported the first sale of stock jointly owned by her and her husband on Jan. 24, the very day that her committee, the Senate Health Committee, hosted a private, all-senators briefing from administration officials, including the CDC director and Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Late Thursday night, Loeffler did offer a statement, tweeting: \u201cThis is a ridiculous and baseless attack. I do not make investment decisions for my portfolio. Investment decisions are made by multiple third-party advisors without my or my husband\u2019s knowledge or involvement. As confirmed in the periodic transaction report to Senate Ethics, I was informed of these purchases and sales on February 16, 2020\u2014three weeks after they were made.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the weeks after her spate of stock trades, Loeffler sought to downplay the public-health and financial threats posed by the coronavirus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
