Sen. Richard Burr's (R-N.C.) decision to temporarily step down as chairman of the Intelligence Committee sent shock waves through the Senate on Thursday.

It was the latest turn since reports surfaced in March that the Justice Department was conducting a probe into Burr's sale of up to $1.72 million in stocks earlier this year.
The stocks were sold in early February after senators received closed-door briefings on the national threat posed by the coronavirus, before most Americans were warned about the potential economic fallout of the pandemic.
