Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

POL-4.6: News reports state that the Justice Department closed its inquiries into Senators Loeffler (R), Feinstein (D) and Inhofe (R) by 26 May 2020, Perdue (R) by 25 November 2020 and Burr (R) in January 2021 without charges. A letter released by Loeffler's spokesperson, whose authenticity the committee staff did not confirm, says the Senate Ethics Committee dismissed the matter on 16 June 2020, and Burr says the SEC took no action.
POL-4.7: Burr said he relied solely on public news reports, Loeffler's spokesman called the inquiry politically motivated, Feinstein's office said her assets were in a blind trust and her husband traded, Inhofe said he does not make his own trades, and Perdue's campaign spokesman called the outcome 'exonerating evidence' and the allegations 'baseless accusations.'
