Kelly Loeffler tries to undo some of the damage from her recent stock trades
Sen. Kelly Loeffler said Wednesday that she and her husband will liquidate their individual stock shares, amid accusations that the Georgia Republican sought to profit from information she received at a closed-door coronavirus briefing in January.
Loeffler, the wealthiest member of Congress, has repeatedly denied the accusations, noting that she and her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, rely on independent third-party advisers to make their investment decisions. Sprecher is chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.
“Although Senate ethics rules don’t require it, my husband and I are liquidating our holdings in managed accounts and moving into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds,” Loeffler wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. “I will report these exiting transactions in the periodic transaction report I file later this month.”
She added: “I’m not doing this because I have to. . . . I’m doing it because the issue isn’t worth the distraction.”
