Warren to bank regulator who found her question insulting: 'Good'

lol I likey so much Warren understands every part of their fraud schemes.



Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) squared off with a top Trump administration bank regulator on Wednesday over his decision to keep parts of the agency's oversight of Wells Fargo confidential.

Warren, a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, squabbled with Joseph Otting over whether he should release his review of the bank's pending choice for a new chief executive.

Otting, chief of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), said during a Senate Banking Committee hearing that the agency would decide whether to approve Wells Fargo’s eventual pick for a new CEO. But Otting said he would not reveal the findings of its decisionmaking process.

Otting told Warren that it was his “prerogative” whether to release the information, and insisted that “no one has been more tougher” or “more outspoken” about Wells Fargo’s scandals than himself.

“At the OCC? That’s a low bar,” Warren replied, dinging the agency for what she called a track record of insufficient oversight of banks.

When Otting told Warren he found her comment “insulting,” the senator shot back, “Good.”
