Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Tuesday called President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics "dangerous," warning the move risks undermining faith in the government's jobs numbers after a weak July report.
What Happened: "I think people have not absorbed how dangerous it is both to fire the head of BLS and then what? Put in some sycophant who's going to give data that makes the president happy? And, when that happens, who believes the data?" Warren told CNBC.
