A new concern for Democratic gadfliess: Suspicious stock trades may have been timed to Education Department announcements. Senator Doug Jones (D-Ala.), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Representative Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.) have written a letter to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos “urging her to address disclosure of non-public information about important Department of Education actions.”
“The disclosures appear to be creating opportunities for insider trading of the stocks of the companies affected by the Department’s decisions,” the letter says.
