The FBI is investigating a Republican senator.

Sen. Richard Burr is under investigation related to his personal sale of stock.

Burr sold stocks in mid-February as he became aware of the coronavirus outbreak. He had been briefed on the virus and the economic fallout.

On Wednesday, his smartphone was seized by FBI agents.

The Republican senator stepped down as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee as a result of the investigation.

The agency has also been investigating similar investment moves by other U.S. senators. There is concern that these individuals used confidential government briefings as the basis for their investment decisions.
