WASHINGTON _ Rep. Susan Davis of California and her husband sold stocks related to travel and tourism less than two weeks after members of the House of Representatives received a closed-door briefing on the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
The revelation comes on the back of news reports of Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C., Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and others selling stocks after receiving classified briefings by administration officials on the coronavirus threat.
The House had a briefing on the coronavirus threat that was exclusive to all members on Jan. 29, according to an invitation obtained by McClatchy. Briefers included Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
