During Monday's U.S. Senate debate, Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs accused Utah Rep. John Curtis of insider trading during the COVID pandemic.
During Utah’s 2024 U.S. Senate GOP primary election debate, Trent Staggs accused Curtis of “looking out for own profit” during the pandemic.
“On March 4 of 2020, Abbott Laboratories was awarded a federal grant. On that same day, John Curtis purchased stock in that company. This is the problem in Congress. At a time when somebody should be looking out for their constituents, they end up looking out for their own profit,” Staggs said.“You accuse me of a felony here tonight,” Curtis shot back. “You better have good evidence, and I’d like to challenge you to produce that evidence that somehow I’ve committed a felony.
