Senator Warren Statement on FDIC Chairman Hill Confirmation Vote

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, released the following statement on Travis Hill ahead of his confirmation vote on the Senate floor to be Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC):

"In his time at the FDIC, Travis Hill has been a rubber stamp for President Trump's deregulatory Wall Street agenda that is sowing the seeds of another financial crisis. Hill has also repeatedly withheld information from Congress on the agency's efforts to address its toxic workplace culture and has gutted the offices responsible for improving it. The Senate should not confirm him - but if Hill is confirmed, as Chairman he must stop stonewalling Congress and the Banking Committee must continue rigorous oversight of his actions."
