Warren Signals Investigations if She Leads Senate Banking Panel

The aide said the potential targets include Big Tech chief executives, administration officials, Trump family crypto businesses, Wall Street executives and large corporations. Warren is also expected to pursue policies focused on affordability, including a cap on credit card interest rates, action against what she calls corporate profiteering and a bipartisan housing bill with Tim Scott (R-SC), who is expected to become the committee’s ranking member.

Politico reported that Warren plans to work with Republican China hawks on restricting exports of advanced AI chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, a central figure in that debate, is also expected to face scrutiny, the aide said.

Warren wrote in a social media post on Sunday that Democrats won historic midterm victories by recognizing economic hardship, condemning corruption in Washington and pledging to challenge a system she said favors large corporations over working people. “Americans need Democrats to deliver now,” she wrote.

As committee chair, Warren would have significant authority to seek testimony from corporate executives and advance subpoenas for company documents. Reuters reported late last week that she is likely to examine the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s August decision to approve a bank charter for World Liberty Financial, which is backed by President Donald Trump. Reuters also said she is likely to investigate mass firings of financial agency workers and efforts to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which Warren helped create.
