2:10 am
resign him open as the story. richard burr u.s. senator and head of the senate intelligence committee reassured everyone that the us government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here is what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a public health threats like the coronavirus his words sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story here's a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the capitol hill club and. she is. probably. even offered
2:11 am
some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to travel you may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to europe is essential or whether it can be done on a video conference why risk is needless to say accusations are now flying that richard burr used his capitol hill inside info to help out his pals financially you remember when the stock market tanked right and tonight stock market futures are pointing to a higher open after the biggest point drop in history the dow losing more than 2000 points today and lot of investors repriced that a little shy of the crash we stored in markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow fears over the coronavirus leading to the biggest point drop in history today well richard burr was pretty well unaffected because the gun loaded up to 1700000 dollars of u.s. stocks just a week before the plunge now he says this is not because of any insider information he had overnight solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the
2:12 am
sale of stocks on february 13th but calls for his resignation are growing. as into tam and sent to bergen private briefings about coronavirus weeks ago then you know how bad it would be he told the truth to heal spouse adonis sure and the public that we will find that he sold off 1600000 in stock before the foam he needs to resign senates a bush should resign and prepared to spend some quality time with a federal grand jury that maybe there's an honest explanation for what he did if there is he should share with the rest of us immediately otherwise he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for insider trading but richard burr is not the only capitol hill to well or to make some slick stock market moves at just the right time.

2:14 am
have public servants we have members of congress who are using their power into. not only in stock trades the problem is that the government has too much goodies to give out so it's impossible for some of these people to resist a minute ashville crisis americans want their political leaders to be solving problems managing the issues and getting things done it seems like they're certainly doing that but on a more personal level caleb martin r.t. new york. we want us to state my pompei i was accused several countries including russia of spreading false information about the pandemic i'm sure disinclination is there any particular locus for this decision for missionaries a few pretty diffused unfortunately but we've certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran but there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing. to do all the things at present trying to set in motion here
