Donald Trump’s allies don't much like Richard Burr. But they'd prefer the president keep out of the senator’s criminal investigation
Trump said he had not discussed the investigation with the Justice Department. "I knew nothing about it, nothing about it,” he said. “No, I never discussed it with anybody."on Sen. Kelly Loeffler , who sold millions of dollars in stocks after she received a private coronavirus briefing. Loeffler faces Rep. Doug Collins, in a special election in the emerging battleground state.
Even before the latest developments in Burr's case, some Republicans were calling for him to step down from his intel perch. But the situation escalated quickly this week. A senior Justice Department official confirmed on Thursday that a warrant was served on Burr’s lawyer for the senator’s cellphone. The warrant was approved at the highest levels of the Justice Department, the official said, adding that authorities did not conduct a raid.
