Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he did not have enough information to call for Sen. Richard Burr’s resignation after the FBI issued a warrant in connection to an insider trading investigation.
The FBI served a warrant for the North Carolina Republican’s cellphone Wednesday as part of an investigation into his sale of more than $1 million in stocks after he received an intelligence briefing on the coronavirus in February. During a Thursday interview on Squawk on the Street, Schumer said it would be “premature” for him to call for Burr to resign from Congress or step down as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
