Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has a fearsome reputation as a financial watchdog and the brain behind the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, isn’t known for agreeing with big bank CEOs. But on Wednesday, when the Senate banking committee held its annual oversight hearing with the heads of America’s biggest banks, the Massachusetts Democrat found herself on the same page as all eight of them.
“I am not usually holding hands with the CEOs of multibillion-dollar banks. But this is a matter of national security,” Warren said.
