I might be missing something here, but how does the knowledge pandemic and about the severity of the disease about qualify as insider information? I guess this guy can be accused of not expressing his real beliefs to the public (to contain the panic as he would surely argue), but that is not the same as insider trading.

He did express his concerns about the economy to a small group of donors. He also was one of only 3 senators to vote against the stock act, making things like this illegal.
