I remember reading about Senators and Congressmen using their special knowledge for insider trading, months or years before this particular occurrence.
Attempts to change the law to prevent this have always foundered; because it would require the votes of: Senators and Congressmen.
Presumably, the reason this particular occurrence is getting so much publicity is that Democrats and their friends in the media think it may help flip the Senate.
And, of course, they know they can count on the usual gang of useful idiots*, conservatives who have a strange habit of letting off Democrats and condemning Republicans.
*I name no names; but it’s possible that someone who is always wrong is among their number.
And, that’s also how you get Trump!
