NEW: FBI seizes Sen. Burr's cell phone in probe over stock sales after coronavirus briefing.
"The law is clear that any American — including a senator — may participate in the stock market based on public information, as Senator Burr did. When this issue arose, Senator Burr immediately asked the Senate Ethics Committee to conduct a complete review, and he will cooperate with that review as well as any other appropriate inquiry. Senator Burr welcomes a thorough review of the facts in this matter, which will establish that his actions were appropriate.
ProPublica discovered, and NBC News has confirmed, the stock sell-offs in Burr's publicly available financial disclosure reports. The exact figures are unclear because the reports offer ranges of transactions. A Feinstein spokesman in March said that the senator did not sell any stock and that"the transactions you're referencing were made by her spouse."
