Sen. David Perdue bought stock in a company that makes personal protective equipment on the same day he received a classified Senate briefing on the spread of the virus in the U.S.
Perdue made a series of 112 transactions, 82 of which were made on March 3. Of those, 76 were purchases totaling up to $1.8 million and 34 were stock sales of up to $825,000. A spokesperson for Perdue said he “has always had an outside adviser managing his personal finances, and he is not involved in day-to-day decisions” about his portfolio.

Was Senator Feinstein not also the subject of scrutiny regarding stock sales she made? Sources - [1], [2], [3], among many others. There is currently no mention of this in the article. Mr Ernie ( talk) 20:54, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Should this even be an article? Is there an actual "scandal" (I think there is with Burr for sure, but this article is about multiple senators. Shouldn't the Burr content just go in his article--does it need a break-out?). The article is out of date and leaves us hanging as to the outcome of most of this, which is nothing. Not sure where to start, exactly (AFD?) but this all seems quite problematic, as the article heavily insinuates wrongdoing that in most cases was never substantiated and has become a nothingburger.

Could there be a section on this page for the impact of this scandal? Particularly so in the Georgia Senate races earlier this year, it seems consequential enough to put a section for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.194.255.65 ( talk) 16:13, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello everyone. This article was a political article that was in need of an infobox so I decided to create one. The question I wanted to ask is if any other wikipedians had an opinion on which specific senators should be listed in the "participants" section of the infobox.
I decided to include all the senators in the article as they all seem to have been "participants" by doing insider trading, as stated in the articles sources. Would it be better to change the participants to simply "Multiple United States senators"? Would it be better to change it to "Multiple United States senators, notably David Perdue" since he's the most notable of the participants (as noted in the article)? Or is the status quo of including everyone the best option? Would love to hear other opinions.
