Appeals court skeptical of judge's ruling blocking access to Sen. Burr warrant
A federal appeals court indicated Wednesday it may overturn a judge’s ruling that blocked the public’s access to a search warrant for Sen. Richard M. Burr’s cellphone, which was part of an investigation into his stock trades.
Federal agents and prosecutors at the time were investigating whether Burr, a North Carolina Republican, illegally used information from congressional briefings about the coronavirus to sell $1.65 million in stock before the pandemic hit in 2020. Burr’s lawyers announced in January 2021 that the Justice Department had notified them it would not bring charges., argued Wednesday at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.
“We can’t even find a sentence in the analysis section acknowledging and discussing the public interest in favor of disclosure,” Judge Patricia Millett said. “It only addressed one side of the privacy arguments in this case.” It is not clear when the panel will issue an opinion. The court can either uphold Howell’s ruling, order the release of the records or direct the judge to more fully consider the newspaper’s legal arguments., argued during the hearing that Howell had carefully weighed all the issues in the case and the panel should reject The Times’ appeal.
