Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office says she was contacted by the FBI about stock sales her husband made early in the coronavirus pandemic.
The California Democrat is one of four senators facing scrutiny for stock sales early in the crisis. The FBI served a warrant Wednesday on Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and seized his cellphone.
Feinstein spokesman Tom Mentzer told The Post that Feinstein was questioned last month.
Mentzer said in a statement he believes that the offices of Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and James Inhofe (R-Okla.) also were contacted by the FBI.
Spokespeople for Loeffler and Inhofe did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
“Senator Feinstein was asked some basic questions by law enforcement about her husband’s stock transactions, as I think all offices in the initial story were,” Mentzer said.
“She was happy to voluntarily answer those questions to set the record straight and provided additional documents to show she had no involvement in her husband’s transactions. There have been no follow-up actions on this issue,” Mentzer said.
