NEW: Federal agents served a warrant and seized a cellphone belonging to Senate Intelligence Cmte Chair Richard Burr Wednesday night as part of their investigation into suspicious stock trades he made before Coronavirus crash

latimes.com/politics/story…
Burr's stock trades were especially suspicious considering his previous transaction history. I did a deep dive on that here:

There have also been a number of other senators with suspicious stock market transactions.

I laid out here why Sen. Burr's transactions were uniquely suspicious -- and why law enforcement would zoom in on him.

Burr's office is declining comment tonight, @cgrisales reports

NEW from me: Marc Short, the Vice President's chief of staff, holds as much as $1.64 million in individual stocks for companies doing work related to the Trump administration's pandemic response.

His holdings could run afoul of conflict of interest laws.
