North Carolina Senator Richard Burr has stepped down as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee amid an insider trading investigation.
“Senator Burr contacted me this morning to inform me of his decision to step aside as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee during the pendency of the investigation,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement Thursday. “We agreed that this decision would be in the best interests of the committee and will be effective at the end of the day tomorrow.”

With the FBI raid of his home and seizure of his phone, I wonder if Burr regrets his refusal to do actual oversight.
