Elizabeth Warren poised to lead Senate Banking Committee and target Wall Street, crypto

Elizabeth Warren sets sights on scrutinizing Trump's crypto connections as she readies to lead Senate banking. Senator Elizabeth Warren is poised to take a more prominent role in overseeing Wall Street and the broader financial industry if Democrats secure the Senate Banking Committee chairmanship for her when the new Congress begins in January. Senator Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina, is the current chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee. Warren is expected to take over the chairmanship when Democrats assume control of the Senate in January 2027.
