Analysis Shows Burr’s Stock Trades Were Highly Unusual

“Sen. Richard Burr’s (R-NC) sale of up to $1.7 million in stock shortly before the recent market crash was one of the lawmaker’s only market-beating trades since record-keeping began eight years ago,” NPR reports.

“The new analysis, presented by researchers at Dartmouth University, shows just how unusual the North Carolina senator’s transactions were. On a single day, Feb. 13 of this year, Burr unloaded a significant portion of his net worth — a departure from his typically low-volume trading history.”
