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 โ€œurging her to address disclosure of non-public information about important Department of Education actions.โ€

โ€œThe disclosures appear to be creating opportunities for insider trading of the stocks of the companies affected by the Departmentโ€™s decisions,โ€ the letter says.
